Communal Dinner

Since August 2015, there has been communal dining at Folkehuset Absalon in Copenhagen, every single evening. People of all ages and from all corners of the city – even the world – come to share a meal and much more. It’s not just about food, but about presence, curiosity and being together without necessarily knowing each other in advance.

Through text, photos and illustrations, ‘Communal dinner – With Love from Absalon’ gives an insight into communal dining at Folkehuset Absalon. You can read about the ideas behind the project, the food, the guests – and those who just stopped by. And there are recipes so you can make your own version of communal dinners wherever you want. It’s not difficult. All it requires is food and people.
