As part of the Berlin Democracy Day, Intikuren and Co-Making Matters invite you to a special day and night event with music, food and talk to share practices connected to Latin America in Berlin.

On 14th of September, 4 – 10pm, at Haus der Statistik (Otto Wald space). 

‘State of nourishment: Kitchen + Talks + Music’ is an artistic and cultural event centered around gastronomy and connections of cultural practitioners from Latin America based in Berlin. The program brings together ideas, experiences, and knowledge about food and its various relationships with our society and the planet. The program is composed of an intercultural cooking workshop followed by a roundtable discussion on contemporary food and ancestral knowledge, music, dance and other artistic expressions. To conclude, we will nourish the spirit with music and performative art.

Program’s Schedule:
