A series of participatory performances indoor or in the public space exploring concepts of togetherness, community making and commoning.​ Everything starts at the dinner table. The group then engages in a collective preparation of a shared meal, recipes and ingredients provided by the artist. These moments of sharing arouse the curiosity of passers-by, inviting spontaneous interaction that can last a minute or an hour. When indoor, each participant is invited to bring one ingredient of their choice. Sitting around the table, we get to know each other through the ingredients we brought and what they mean to us. The recipe is a common creative act that combines different culinary traditions in new, unforeseeable ways.

The kitchen is a playfield that allows us to grow in our capacity to work collaboratively. It is a space to address cultural differences and similarities, insecurities, values and emotions. While most of us have learnt to cook with some form of verticality – there is a recipe to follow, or a separation between chef and sous chef – this cooking space strives to create room for learning and sharing, to give everyone the opportunity to get out of their comfort zone while feeling safe.
