Ollas Communes – Collective Solutions for Individual Problems

Ollas Comunes can be translated as “Solidarity Kitchens”, but it’s weigh more than just cooking together. How Pilar describes it: “It’s a huge pod so that everybody gets fed.” It’s about taking action in times of crises, about empowerment, and about learning how to self-organize. It’s feminist, it’s resistance, it’s powerful. In Chile it has a long history but started to bloom again in the recent crises connected to the repression during the 2019 revolt and the pandemic. Pilar talks about the beauty and strength of all that.
