robida - Academy of Margins: NutrientsCéline Mathieu & Margaux Schwab

Margaux Schwab, founder of foodculture days, and artist and writer Céline Mathieu will spend a week in Topolò with and at Robida collective, thinking of the flow of ingredients. They will share a daily writing practice during their stay, considering both food and words as nourishment. . What do we take in, and what does it result in? In conversation and through writing, we reconsider what our cyclic replenishing in food as in words could mean, considering notions of perishability, restoration and mutuality.

The Academy of Margins, a project started by Robida in 2022, is a learning platform that stimulates collaborative and discursive learning, based on intimacy and rootedness where the margins are not only the site but also the widely intended content of the Academy itself. The main objective of the project is to invite relevant contemporary thinkers to a place usually excluded from their maps/travels/conferences and to stimulate the relationship with a younger generation of artists, curators, thinkers and public. The Academy of Margins stimulates the encounter between central theories and marginal places and the relationship between relevant authors and a younger generation that usually reads them and is developing itself through their ideas.
