Solar Brunch

Barcelona, 2022

The solar brunch is an event concept we launched in 2022. The idea was to create a social event focused on ways to be less dependent on electrical energy and promote the use of solar energy in a fun way: cooking with the sun and music powered by the sun. If the sun goes away, the event can continue powered by pedal-powered bikes.

The event is an opportunity to start conversations around natural systems and the alternatives we can use in some of our daily activities, such as cooking. Taking into account the slow part of the process, where things are not so immediate and making it more of a ritual and an enjoyable group activity.

We organized the first three editions (#1 in May 2022 during the MODEL festival, #2 in June 2022, #3 in June 2023 again during the MODEL festival) at the Bioma urban garden in Poblenou. The latest edition happened in June 2025 in Clot for the inauguration of Green City Lab urban garden.
