The Kitchen / Central Location

The Phase 1 of our Open Call 2027 is now CLOSED !

The Kitchen/Central Location is the living heart of the biennial. At once an open-air kitchen, a gathering space, and an artistic installation, it invites participants and pas-sers-by alike to cook, exchange, and reflect together. Located by the lake-side, it offers an open and welcoming environment for encounters and collective engagement. As a flexible and convivial space, it brings together the festival's diverse practices and fosters dialogue around the cultural, social, and political dimensions of food.

For the 6th edition of the festival, we want to open up this space with/to our community of practices and imagine new ways of inhabiting it !

WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
A transdisciplinary collective — scientists, artists, designers, craftspeople, cooks, activists, architects. The collective can be newly formed or already active. We also encourage collaboration across different generations, cultures, and levels of expertise.

WE ARE OFFERING:
An open-air citizen experimentation laboratory in Vevey's public space. The intention is to rethink our ways of living, our relationship to time and to creation. We are especially eager to think together with the collective about the conditions under which multidisciplinary practices can flourish and thrive in our contemporary society.

Consult the Open Call Information Kit (conditions, expectations, and requirements).

The foodculture days' team including Margaux Schwab (director & founder) and Sebastien Tripot (The Kitchen/Central location architect) held an online meeting to present the call for projects and answer any questions.

The recording is available on our Youtube Channel. A Q&A is also available, which we recommend you to read.
