Breaking Bread, Nourishing Solidarity across Central and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central and North Asia
digital interactive publication design, 2025
odren alina
a digital 94-pages interactive publication made in collaboration with Irina Arekhovskaya and the dalan foundation.
honestly, dalan can describe it better than i ever could.
"The Resistance Cookbook — a collective and community-driven publication that weaves together recipes, stories, and reflections from across the CEECCNA regions. This is not just a cookbook. It is a testament to the resilience strategies, care work, and collective creativity that sustain movements and communities in times of crisis and beyond.
Born out of the wish to celebrate the community that nourishes Dalan Fund’s participatory resource distribution work since its inception, the cookbook brings together contributions from our movement partners who turn cooking into a political act, kitchens into organizing spaces, and shared meals into gestures of solidarity.
In a moment marked by compounding crises, this book stands as an offering of experiences, practices, and knowledge that help CEECCNA communities not only navigate urgent challenges, but also build and rebuild, over and over again, centering mutual care, community work, and collective action."
together with Irina, we worked on the visual side of the publication:
irina created moody, thoughtful collages that open each recipe,
and alina handled the layout and fine-tuned the visual details that guide the reader through the pages of the recipe book.
