Program Description

Visiting Artist Piero Passacantando This interdisciplinary Workshop aims to study the production of fermented products with bacterial cultures and yeasts. The participants will deal with traditional methods, healthy and “forgotten” after the advent of industrial products for the production of goat cheese, bread, fermented beverages and other foods. These transformations, which can appear almost alchemical but are at the same time scientific, will offer food for thought for conversations about inner and social transformations. The group will also be encouraged to experiment with the visual and sculptural possibilities of these processes. We will look at various vessels, baskets and fabricstraditionally used. Thanks to the interaction between artistic-enogastronomic research, conviviality and local products, the workshop builds new forms of social exchange.
