foodculture days
Founded in 2017 in Vevey, Switzerland, foodculture days aims to share knowledge, practices, and know-hows around food. It brings together artists, scientists, farmers, cooks and local experts engaging with food as a research subject, a medium, a sensorial material, a way to connect with our environnement or a tool of resistance. The platform also conducts field research phases and curate an editorial online project called Boca A Boca. These moments of encounter and ongoing exchange culminate in a free of charge Biennale of socially engaged practices organized in Vevey’s public space. At a time when ecological and social issues affect an ever-increasing number of living organisms, foodculture days projects wish to support a socio-political and environmental transformation towards more just and sustainable models which could nurture, heal, and sustain the living world in all its diverse forms.
The role in the project: foodculture days is the cultural partner of the BIOARC project. It is in charge of curating and organizing a a serie of creative and artistic activations in the four Pavillons developped for the project. These situated interventions are intendent to connect and exchange with differents publics and communities of practices of each region and will be done in close collaboration with the bio-weavers of the different territories of research.
