RENE REDZEPI: "Donirat ću iznos dnevnog utrška Nome u ime svakog člana tima za borbu protiv rasizma!"

Cijeli svijet već danima prati što se zbiva u Americi, a poruke podrške i solidarnosti te poziv na dodatnu edukaciju o rasnim problemima, koji nisu jedinstveni za SAD, ali trenutno upravo tamo silovito izlaze na površinu, preplavile su društvene mreže. Crni kvadrat s oznakom #blackouttuesday tako je jučer zavladao nekad šarenim Instagramom, a jednako ga dijele pisci, glumci, političari, chefovi i svi koji žele dati svojim pratiteljima do znanja kako se suočiti s okrutnom činjenicom da boja kože znatno utječe na sigurnost, dostupne prilike i kvalitetu života milijuna ljudi diljem svijeta.

I will never be able to understand how life must be as a person of color, but I do know on which side I stand. In solidarity with the Black community and the fight against systemic racism, myself and my partners will be personally donating the equivalent of one full day of revenue at the restaurant to Black Lives Matter on behalf of every member of our team @nomacph #blackouttuesday

Uzevši u obzir koliko sektor ugostiteljstva, posebice u Americi, ovisi upravo o radnicima drugih rasa, često ilegalnim migrantima, koji iz dana u dan skriveni u kuhinjama ulažu svoj znoj, rad i trud kako bih hranili Ameriku, ne iznenađuje da zajednica nije mogla ostati po strani, već na razne načine potiče na osvješćivanje problema, veće razumijevanje i razgovor. Neki pritom idu i korak dalje te svojim primjerom pokušavaju ukazati na potrebu za promjenama u sustavu, priznajući pritom da bijelci ne mogu ni pojmiti kako je to živjeti u koži druge boje.

Dear friends. With all that we know and continue to learn, and scientific evidence urging us all to reduce non-essential social contact, we are making the most difficult decision to temporarily close restaurant noma until Tuesday 14th April at the earliest. Despite the fact that being together is at the heart of everything we do, the reality is very much that at this time, being together is not in the best interests of our community. For now, noma is shifting into family mode and we have made a number of commitments to our team and their families. We may be closing the doors to our restaurant for a short while, but we are not closing the doors to life, to friendship, to community, or to each other. We will be together every step of the way. The challenges we face are the same ones faced by our friends and colleagues across Copenhagen, Denmark and around the world. We stand with all of them and we face these challenges together. On behalf of our industry, and to our guests and guests of restaurants all around the world, if you wish to help, rather than cancel you could perhaps postpone your reservations to a later date or even buy a gift card to support your favourite restaurant. Please also continue to support those restaurants, cafés, bakeries and food stores that remain open – the people who work there are your friends and neighbours. We are one community. We are learning more with every day and will share updates on our path forward here and via our website. Our full statement is available at noma.dk (link in bio).

Rene Redžepi iz danske Nome tako je na svojem Instagram profilu objavom ranije spomenutog crnog kvadrata izrazio svoju podršku pokretu Black Lives Matter i borbi protiv sustavnog rasizma, te se zavjetovao da će donirati iznos dnevnog utrška Nome uime svakog člana tima koji radi u Nomi. Podsjetimo, Noma je trenutno nositelj dviju Michelinovih zvjezdica, a vrijeme postupnog otvaranja javnosti nakon perioda karantene u Nomi su iskoristili za privremenu preobrazbu svog poslovanja iz klasičnog fine dining restorana u koncept bistroa s ponudom vina i burgera, a sve kako bi se prilagodili novonastaloj situaciji.
