The Hummus Academy

In June 2022 The Hummus Academy became a registered Dutch foundation. Two years later. This nonprofit entity still functions by total volunteer work. We started very small and were very surprised how fast we grew, and how big the reach has been. In today's world where climate and food ethics and consciousness are on the rise, we still live in a world ruled by Western powers who claim the moral higher ground, sell and send weapons to support wars that are anchored in siege, starvation and phosphorous bombs. Finding ways to connect with humans who are serious about their life, ethics and love for this planet and others- is our work. We live in order to love, sounds cheesy but is the ultimate truth. We live in order to polish new ways of joy and bonding. The Hummus Academy continues with research, digging for truths, arranging special dinners around these lines, giving Masterclasses and producing innovative designs and work. Some of our work: A special dinner for 120 diners with chef Sami Tamimi Curating historic nibbles for Stedelijk Museum Alkmaar Plate for Palestine, dinner for 120 diners, 4 Masterclasses, Design exhibition, and pop-up boutique at Pand van Mokum, Amsterdam Masterclass at Organic Wine Festival Amsterdam Pop-up exhibition and authentic Hummus at Paradiso Amsterdam Authentic Hummus and presentation for Creatives For Climate The Hummus Academy team spent a week in retreat June 2024, to recenter our work, expressions, and reconnect in love and joy. The culinary is our daily fuel and compass. Stay tuned and mostly Thank you for all the love

Limited seats.

Gaza is a 6000-year-old Mediterranean port city. In antiquity, it was famous for being the first exporter of excellent wine. "The Gazan Sweet Wine" was famous across the Mediterranean, arriving to Wales, Germany, France, and naturally to the nearby Pharaos who would use only the Gazan white wine in their banquets. We fundraise for intentionally starved and sieged Gaza and revive its heritage and life on Sunday 28 January with a lunch, film, design exhibition, stories and pop-up boutique. There are Masterclasses on offer too for early birds. Limited seats, act fast! https://lnkd.in/e6XGNGu7
