PEN & FORK 2ND EDITION

When we are constantly moving, home acquires many meanings and shapes. If we see home as the centre of the world it suggests not just an actual place but a state of mind from where we can peacefully exist.

The beautiful action of getting together in any space evolves a certain type of magic and for me, magic always acts as a type of healing. Creating and eating share the same type of power.

This workshop was born when I was feeling disconnected from my home; disconnected from myself. What I missed the most were the talks and the food around the table with my loved ones so I started thinking in ways where I could use art as a guide to my centre and food as an excuse to walk that path.

The experience I want to bring to you recollects those steps, through exploration and creativity I share my creative process as a way to connect with myself and by that with the whole universe.

On this occasion I decided to invite my great friend/chef Pablo, from Argentina to Melbourne he will delight our senses with a special menu inspired on our South American land, in our indigenous traditions and also in the creative process that I want to share with you!

We would like to pay homage and celebrate ancestral ingredients from the Andes, exploring the idea of ancestral family.
