New project

The Balkankult Foundation in the context of its program Bread Cultural Heritage, is planning on building a Danube watermill based on authentic design plans. It is well-known that by the beginning of the 20th century there wasn't a town on the Danube, in the fertile Pannonian Plain, which didn't have at least several watermills. Today there is not a single watermill along the Danube, whether as an economic structure or a structure of cultural heritage. The significant attributes of the economic and cultural history of the Danube region is unjustifiably neglected. The structure would, along with its everyday use of producing flour, have the purpose of being its own kind of exhibition space aimed at presenting the culture and tradition of mills and bread in the Danube region. In that context, educational and exhibitonal activities would be aimed at the significance of the event - orientation towards the visitor. This way the program emphasis would be on the visitor's experience, which is a tendency of modern exhibitions elsewhere in the world. The authentic architecture and area where the structure would be located, would undoubtedly be an important aspect of the work's overall success
The publication of "Bread - A Small Literary Anthology" , with works by literature greats Tolstoy, Goethe, Kropotkin, Mandelstam, Zweig and others, will be published till the end of 2011.

"The Ex Libris Exhibition which was shown from July to September was quite successful. More than 9000 people visited our house during the period." Dr. Andrea Fadani, Director (Museum of Bread Culture)
Bread Cultural Heritage is envisaged as a mosaic programme of research, information and educational projects, taking also into account the symbolical role Bread plays in our religious, cultures and everyday life. With those aims in mind we started to work on various long-term projects.
The programme Bread Cultural Heritage is officially a subsidiary project of the "European Food Project" of ERICArts (European Research Institute for Comparative Cultural Policy and the Arts) http://www.ericarts.org/web/projects.php?aid=62&al=&rid=999

SlNNE-EATERS.—In the County of Hereford was an old custom at funeralls to have poor people, who were to take upon them all the sinnes of the party deceased. The manner was, that when the Corps was brought out of the house, and layd on the Biere, a Loafe of bread was brought out, and delivered to the Sinne-eater over the corps, as also a Mazar-bowle of Maple (Gossips' bowle) full of beer, which he was to drinke up, and sixpence in money, in consideration whereof he tooke upon him (ipso facto) all the Sinnes of the Defunct, and freed him (or her) from walking after they were dead.
