Neighbouring Recipes

Food Workshop and Panel

Chefs: Semi Hakim (Kök Projekt), Dalia Mortado (Kök Projekt & Savouring Syria)
Project Coordinator: Ezgi Tuncer

Food is commonly dressed by a specified identity and assigned to a place since, as a cultural material it is one of the most useful tools providing generation and sustainability of political identity. Furthermore, it is appropriated by states as indicators of patriotic discourses sublimating and emphasizing nations. However, neither local nor national, existentially nomadic, food has no homeland. It is particularly reproduced in every single location by different cultural habits, techniques and materials. Therefore, as a counter-conduct against borders, chefs from different cultural geographies will come together in a kitchen place to reproduce common dishes of transitive cultures. This performance aims to highlight communalities and mobility of food culture instead of divisions, conflicts and war.
