Bread is love between strangersCaique Tizzi

(BR)

Meal, Performance, Care, Love, Community, Hospitality

For its first 2019 event, foodculturedays commissioned the artist Caique Tizzi (BR) for a concept meal and a performance. The menu isinspired by the seven types of love based on classic readings, in particular Plato and Aristotle, and on J.A. Lee's 1973 book "Colors of Love".

The intention is to create a space for reflection and interaction around the table around the notions of care, community and common futur.

Caique Tizzi (São Paulo, Brazil) lives and works in Berlin.

Tizzi is an artist, organiser and cook.

The focus of his practice revolves around an artistic approach to food, where the kitchen becomes part a studio, part a laboratory.

His culinary experiences aim to create a ritual around the table, a theatralisation over the ordinary and mundane act of eating together.

In 2011, Tizzi co-founded Agora Collective in Berlin and developed its artistic and food platforms until 2019.

Since 2017, Caique Tizzi has been organising Babes Bar together with Adam Fearon.

Tizzi has collaborated and contributed with his work for organisations like the KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlinische Galerie, Martin Gropius Bau, Kunsthalle Osnabrück, Medialab Prado Madrid, Berlin Art Week amongst others. And his projects have been supported by Creative Europe, Nordic Culture Point, Nordic Culture Fund, Goethe Institut Sao Paulo and Kuala Lumpur and Kulturprojekte Berlin.
