Rreth Veganushit

Te Veganush, ne besojmë se ushqimi është më shumë se thjesht ushqim – është një mjet i fuqishëm për ndryshim dhe kreativitet. Themeluar nga Rezi, një artiste, kuzhiniere dhe aktiviste, Veganush kombinon artin e kuzhinës me bazë bimore me një pasion të thellë për ndërtimin e komunitetit. Çdo pjatë reflekton përkushtimin e Rezi-t ndaj qëndrueshmërisë, eksplorimit kulturor dhe jetesës me vetëdije.

Puna e Rezit shkon përtej kuzhinës. Si një figurë kyçe në komunitetin krijues të qytetit, ajo sjell së bashku artin dhe aktivizmin, duke përdorur talentin e saj në gatim për të nxitur biseda rreth drejtësisë ushqimore, qëndrueshmërisë dhe ndikimit shoqëror të zgjedhjeve tona. Veganush është vendi ku artistja e saj vjen në jetë, duke përzier traditat kulinare me një vizion për një botë më gjithëpërfshirëse dhe më të dhembshur.

Përmes darkave me tematikë te Hotspot, një hapësirë bashkëpunimi dhe kreative të cilën ajo ndihmoi të kultivonte, Rezi organizon përvoja përfshirëse që ndërthurin ushqimin, kulturën dhe edukimin. Nga eksplorimi i trashëgimive të kolonializmit përmes Darkave Post-Koloniale deri te festimi i pasurisë së përbërësve vendorë dhe sezonalë, Veganush është një platformë ku ushqimi takon artin, tregimin e historive dhe ndryshimin shoqëror.

Te Veganush, ne besojmë se çdo vakt është një mundësi për lidhje. Pjatat e Rezi-t pasqyrojnë diversitetin dhe qëndrueshmërinë e komuniteteve në mbarë botën, ndërsa artistja e saj kontribuon në një lëvizje krijuese në zhvillim në qytetin e Tiranës. Qoftë duke shijuar menunë e saj vegane sezonale apo duke marrë pjesë në një darkë me tematikë, Veganush ju fton të eksploroni ndërthurjen mes ushqimit, kulturës dhe aktivizmit.

Bashkohuni me ne në këtë udhëtim kulinar dhe krijues, ku ushqimi nxit unitetin, arti frymëzon ndryshimin dhe çdo vakt rrëfen një histori.

Bashkohuni me fushatën tonë
