Thought For Food is a movement dedicated to the challenge of feeding 9 billion people through bold, breakthrough solutions. In 2015, thousands of people from around the world gathered in Lisbon to find answers and participate in an event themed ‘What’s your moonshot?’
In collaboration with Grandpa’s Lab, we created an outer-space environment to inspire young minds, help them focus on their ‘moonshot,’ and learn more about food security. We divided the beautiful Convento do Beato space into two areas using a 40-meter-wide wall that simulated a moon crater. On one side was the conference area, and on the other a communal space to relax, talk, and party. This area was centered around a 5m-high spaceship that doubled as the DJ booth, surrounded by various resting pods illuminated by black light, where people could rest or write on the walls with fluorescent pens.
To give the installation a more sophisticated look, Grandpa’s Lab enhanced the edges of our cardboard structures with LEDs, bringing the space to life both day and night. On the final day of the summit, participants were treated to an impressive video mapping by Grandpa’s Lab, inspired by Jules Verne, which brought the event to a powerful conclusion.
