Polyphonic Bodies II

A communal tasting celebrating biodiversity and fermentation, movement and fluidity

Saturday 10 Dec 2022, 2-5pm

(3 slots: 2-3pm, 3-4pm, 4-5pm)

Asymmetry HQ, London

Curated by L. Sasha Gora and Erin Li in collaboration with chef Songsoo Kim

Playing with forms of hospitality and co-existence, this communal tasting aims to nurture a curious yet welcoming social situation that breaks down the boundaries and conventions of the collective meal, which is to say a script of courses, a hierarchy of seating, and a repertoire of flavours organised according to national allegiances.

Polyphonic Bodies II instead serves an edible landscape and invites visitors to graze, “forage”, and freely combine bites, the process of which catalyses connections and conversations related to biodiversity, cultural plurality, the climate crisis, and the generosity of the bacteria that choreographs good health and pleasure.

This event was part of the Delfina Foundation’s 2022 Politics of Food public programme, in collaboration with Asymmetry Art Foundation.
