The
initiative was born in the United States as of Sunday Soup and the
formula is that a group of people come together to share a meal and
that meal is sold for an affordable price, and in the while there is presentation of several projects to start or already started. The result, once covered
the costs of spending, will give as a grant to support a creative
project, everyone who purchases the meal gets one vote to determine
who receives the grant.
The
Sunday Soup is therefore a basic model for the funding of creative
projects of small and medium size through a meal as a group.
The
creation of a group that uses the basic model of the Sunday Soup
generate independent funding and dialogue on the availability and
distribution of resources within the cultural, artistic and social,
both at local and national level.
Granting
projects affiliated with Sunday Soup in different cities operate based
on their own needs and context, you can see online the map of thenetwork. The meals are more or less elaborate in different places and
some people have presentations by potential grantees or past grantees
as part of the event.
The
founders explain the things with these words: "This enables us
to stimulate and promote experimental, critical and imaginative
practices that may not be eligible for formal funding. The Soup
grant, while raising money, also serves as a way to build a network
of support and community that reaches beyond purely monetary
assistance. We like to think of it as an open platform to discuss
ongoing projects with new audiences, meet new collaborators, and
share ways of working. "
Sunday
Soup is therefore a participatory manner with the times in order to
achieve the financing of projects in every field of art through food
and sharing a platform, but there are many others, maintained by the
users to solve problems that feel important without expect solutions
defined and financed from above.
