Focusing on simple joys, we want to perform a family meal and invite the many diverse interactions, stories, and walks of life typically united by public events to eat. The themes of connection, agricultural justice, and immigration will combine to inform the logistical details of this practical yet powerful installation; three days of a large table, filled with food consciously sourced and available to any passer-by who’d like to sit down and share their story, learn from their neighbors, or simply receive a healthy meal.

Pooling our talents in both architectural and sonic experimentation, we will alter various aesthetic elements of the experience in order to draw attention to unnoticed details of the daily routine of eating. Roberto will construct an area for the kitchen and dinning table in a public space using recycled materials, and Hannah will shape, alter, and manipulate ambient sounds of the home to amplify exteriorly and attract guests.

As we have both lived in Buenos Aires as foreigners, we’d like to revisit the feeling of forming a home away from home while adding dimension to the dialogue on immigration. To take advantage of this close connection to the public we’ll discuss food availability and networks for counteracting the harmful consequences of agricultural industrialization. While transforming aesthetic possibilities of the installation, we’ll push ourselves further to provide added meaning to the daily joy and revolutionary act of eating amongst others.
