As part of the Berlin Democracy Day, Intikuren and Co-Making Matters created a special day and night event with music, food and talk to share practices connected to Latin America in Berlin. The event happened on 14th of September, 4 - 11pm.
State of nourishment: Kitchen + Talks + Music was an artistic and cultural event centered around gastronomy and connections of cultural practitioners from Latin America based in Berlin. The program brought together ideas, experiences, and knowledge about food and its various relationships with our society and the planet. The program was composed of an intercultural cooking workshop followed by a roundtable discussion on contemporary food and ancestral knowledge, music, dance and other artistic expressions. To conclude, we nourished the spirit with music and performative art.
