    • In collaboration with: Future Architecture
    • Location: Garagem Sul / Belem Cultural Center , Lisbon
    • In this feast the dining table is at the center, giving back to the kitchen its place as a fundamental space of dialogue, while challenging habits and re-thinking eating together, as a ritual of sharing and commoning. This dinner concludes its preceding long day workshop “Taking the kitchen's side” and activates its outcomes to a larger public. A human powered dinning that starts and ends with our bodies.

    Other Ways of Watching Together

    Exhibition / presentation

    • In collaboration with: Yuan Chun Liu, Arvand Pourabbasi, Golnar Abbasi
    • Location: Showroom MAMA, Rotterdam,
    • A common effort in shifting attention from today's established notion of 'cinema' and its prevailing commodification, to ways of enabling the possibility of togetherness around film and performance. The program creates a communal space to experiment with (other) ways of watching together, shedding light on the importance of self-organized structures, especially in the current economic climate where such practices face hardship and even cease to exist.
