Guided Tour of SOBREMESA Visual Art Exhibition in the public space.

This year, the Biennale will continue to place great importance on mediation and raising awareness of art and culture among audiences who are distant from the traditional cultural offering. While art spaces have long privileged one of the five senses—sight—through contemplation and aesthetic pleasure, foodculture days proposes to combine this with the other four senses. It questions the role of taste and the other senses as channels for knowledge and awareness. How can flavors and sensory experiences contribute to the appropriation of artworks?

Building on a pragmatics of taste—which suggests that the means used to grasp an object influence the effects it produces—this edition will offer an ecology of mediation and awareness experiences, ranging from immersive guided tastings to collective cultivation actions and participatory workshops offered free of charge to various audiences in the region.

Guided tours are organized with outreach program responsible and educator Lana Damergi in venues hosting the artworks of Sobremesa. These visits will offer a deeper understanding of the works and stimulate the senses of taste, sight, and touch. The outreach responsible will present an item to smell, taste, or touch, as suggested by the artists themselves. The goal is to enrich the visitor experience and create an invisible bridge between participants.

If you would like to organise a tour with a school-class or a group from 5.06 - 20.06 (finissage), please contact us via info@foodculturedays.com
