Live @ 5: Setting the Table

As we emerge from isolation, we are welcoming the opportunities to come together in person. Our ability to share ideas, communicate concepts, myths and stories is what makes us human.  Possibilities, ideals, values and politics are things that we communicate through art, they are also things we explore through food, and that we share around a table. Talks 9 and 10 will present conversations between chefs who push their culinary skills into an art form and artists who work with food to create dialogue about our shared experiences.

Our panelists are:

• Noa Bronstein - curator and writer who will speak about curating the exhibition Place Settings at Critical Distance.

• Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky - artists, who will speak about their (food) Lantern Making Workshops at Artscape Gibraltar Point as part of ArtworxTO.

• Jessica Maiorano - owner/operator of Pasta Forever, who will speak about her pasta making workshop at MOCA - inspired by Mika Rottenberg’s work Spaghetti Blockchain.

Our moderator for the talk is Chef Kareema.
Our host for this talk is Rebecca Carbin, ART+PUBLIC UnLtd.

The next Live @ 5 will be an in-person event in July 2022 - details coming soon.
