“[About food], there is no race or anything, about food everyone wants to know.

With these experiences, my aim is to address how food is an active element in the relationships we knit with urban spaces and with other urban dwellers. Looking at food as a commodity, a sociocultural language and active part of everyday politics, I invite you to reflect on what is also entangled on what we eat.
I expect to make visible how food moments can provide positive visions on our cities, as well as inspire ventures, innovations and other actions that may bring about more enjoyable forms of collective living.
