Cow Story: Online Sharing with Adelaide Lala Tam
Meet Adelaide Lala Tam, a food designer from Hong Kong currently based in Rotterdam. Her specialty is in dismantling industrial food production systems to gain a critical understanding of our modern relationship with food. She reconnects her audience to food ecosystems through designing food experiences, objects and stories.
Her journey started with a visit to a slaughterhouse in 2014, which completely changed her understanding about food production. Since then, she has set off on a path of exploration through different design projects, discovering answers to her own questions about our relationships with food.
Slow Food Hong Kong is excited to have Adelaide share with us some of her projects, including How to Consume Romie 18, where she collaborated with a biodynamic farm in Eindhoven to investigate the life of a cow. One of her goals is to enable the audience to go behind the closed doors of industrial food processing infrastructure and understand agriculture more.
Graduated from Design Academy Eindhoven in 2018, she has received various awards for her projects, and is featured on the 50 Next 2021 list of young people shaping the future of gastronomy. She was also named in BBC 100 Women in 2021. She has conducted talks and workshops in various cities around the world.
