Fyraften med warfair & The able - smag på varer fra konfliktramte områder og hør historierne bag.
Fredag den 25. september, kl. 16.00–17.30 på Birkegade 9
Har du været nysgerrig på smagene af nogle af de lækre sager, vi har på hylderne fra warfair. Eller på historierne bag, hvordan det er at importere fødevarer fra lande som Afghanistan, Syrien og DR Congo?
Så er dette fredag-event noget for dig.
Christian og Karin har startet warfair fordi mange af disse lande har de største fødevarer historier og traditioner, men mange stopper handel med lande, så snart krig og konflikt optrapper og gør handel besværlig og kompliceret.
Men det har så mange tabere. Lokalbefolkningen.
Men også os, der går glip af fantastiske fødevarer og så meget spændende historie.
Vidste du for eksempel at der er over 200 forskellige slags mandler i Afghanistan?
Hvad sker der?
Karin og Christian fra warfair kommer selv og vil fortæller om, hvordan det i praksis foregår at importere fra lande, som de fleste andre har afskrevet at handle med, hvad det kræver, hvad der går galt, og hvorfor de bliver ved. Der bliver rig mulighed for at spørge ind mens vi smager på:
- Nødder og tørret frugt fra Afghanistan
- Olivenolie fra Palæstina
- Krydderier fra mange forskellige lande
- Chokolade fra Congo
- Øl eller vin fra Palæstina og Ukraine.
Og hvem ved, måske der er andre overraskelser med
Der er tilbud på aftenen
Udvalgte fødevarepakker fra warfair og udvalgt keramik og kunsthåndværk fra The -able sælges til særpris - kun denne aften, hvis du har smagt og set noget, du gerne vil have med hjem.

Better mental health
Creating something with your hands can have a profound positive impact on mental health, especially for those who have experienced trauma. Studies show that engaging in hands-on activities can reduce stress and anxiety by up to 45%.
Many of the artisans we collaborate with have faced significant challenges in adjusting to new countries, often feeling displaced and disconnected.
Through practicing familiar crafts and connecting with new, like-minded communities, they begin to regain a sense of ownership, belonging, and community. Each product you purchase carries the story of a person’s journey, as well as their opportunity to rebuild and create anew.
Jouhania, who embroiders products in the Shatila refugee camp for The -able, shares: 'For me, embroidering is like stitching my life back together, thread by thread. It’s a traditional Palestinian craft that I am proud to bring back to life.
Greater financial freedom
According to the UN, around 70% of refugees live below the poverty line, and many do not have permission to work. Through our cooperation with local NGOs, people on the run get the opportunity to work and earn their own money through jobs they are good at. When people on the run are given the opportunity to be included in the labor market and earn their own money through dignified work, the sense of belonging to the new countries is strengthened and they are given the opportunity to take their first steps towards financial independence again.
Amina, who makes bags for The -able in Lebanon, says: “ Being financially independent from relief organizations has helped me regain my self-confidence and respect - I no longer feel like I'm outside, and I pass this strength and joy on to my children.”
Preserve endangered cultural heritage
An often overlooked consequence of people being forced to leave their homes and land is that local crafts are threatened. The traditions risk disappearing, as those who master the craft must leave materials, tools and practices behind.
At The -able, we work to preserve these traditions by always starting from the knowledge, skills and designs of the artisans and then integrating them into modern design and sustainable practices that can be continued in new countries.
Through our work, we ensure that these skills and traditions live on, while celebrating fine craftsmanship and respecting both people and the planet.
