Invigning av Kökets Torg I form av betongavgjutningar av Hallonbergens standardkök från 1974 förflyttas en välkänd interiör ut i offentligheten. Kökets Torg är ett skulpturalt monument och en hyllning till hemmets omvårdande hjärta i miljonprogrammets lägenheter – en publik manifestation som understödjer kvinnors sociala nätverk i byggd arkitektur. Sedan 2016 har arkitekten och konstnären Elin Strand Ruin tillsammans med personal från förskolan Stella Nova och kvinnoorganisationen Verdandi i Hallonbergen lagat mat på olika platser med hjälp av ett mobilt kök. Det mobila matlaget har identifierat de starka sociala nätverk som förskolans personal byggt upp under mer än 30 år, relationer som dagligen skapar lokal samhörighet och trygghet. Dessa nätverk är ett kapital att förvalta och utveckla. Kökets Torg vill visa på den samhällsbärande resurs som sådana nätverk bär på när de omsätts i permanenta investeringar i det offentliga rummet. Ambitionen är att Kökets Torg ska vara fortsatt aktivt och öka kvinnors närvaro i den gemensamma offentligheten, till stor del med hjälp av Stella Nova och Verdandis roller som värdar för projektet.

'When Shazia Chaudhry, who has worked at the Stella Nova kindergarten of Stella Nova for 20 years, and knew knows everyone in the area, was cooking in the centre of Hallonbergen on a Sunday afternoon in May, she became a node for those who passed by; children, parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts, teens, friends of her family, etc. The social network and bonds of friends- hip and family bonds that Shazia has built up in the neighbourhood for many years, became visible in her act of cooking.
Our question, after having carried out this temporary study for in advance of a long-term project, was: how could a permanent physical intervention make women’s experiences, their labour, their care work, and their networks visible to strengthen their role in the public sphere?'
