The mind in the mouth. A workshop with Adi Toch

In this workshop, we will explore the rituals related to eating, preparing, and -serving food and their emotional and social importance. The dining table is a meeting point for shared meals and experiences, as well as discussions, and occasionally arguments. It will be our playground for reimagining, experimenting, and testing different possibilities for utensils, that reflect the joys, histories, and contemporary concerns around dining. You will be encouraged to consider the sensorial potential of metal and create an interactive experience using a variety of materials, including food as a material.
