SUMMARY:Curated Guided Tour Antwerp á la Carte Expo
DESCRIPTION:Food shapes our cities\, a process that has been going on for centuries. A guide will show you the surprising\, tortuous and often invisible trail of the food chain through Antwerp.Join Leen Beyers\, curator at the MAS Museum\, for a special guided tour of Antwerp à la Carte\, an exhibition that explores how food has shaped the city’s identity across centuries. From bustling markets and international trade to migration\, hospitality and everyday dining\, the exhibition reveals how Antwerp’s rich culinary heritage reflects its history as one of Europe’s most important port cities.Through historical menus\, cookbooks\, artworks\, objects and personal stories\, Antwerp à la Carte uncovers the many ways food connects people\, cultures and communities. It invites visitors to look beyond what is on the table and discover the social\, cultural and economic forces that have influenced what—and how—we eat.The supply of products from the countryside – whether locally or from overseas – to the city; the lively sale of these goods in markets and in shops; dining out in the city\, whether in the elegant hotels of yesteryear or in the contemporary snack bar… and the trail that food follows – often in the form of human waste – from the city back to the countryside.At the end of the exhibition it is time to envisage the future. How will cities continue to feed themselves now that people around the world increasingly leave rural areas for the city?As part of EDIBLE Antwerp 2026\, this exclusive curator-led tour provides the perfect introduction to the festival’s central themes: food as culture\, identity\, memory and a catalyst for dialogue. The exhibition offers valuable historical context for the conversations\, installations and experiences presented throughout EDIBLE\, demonstrating how Antwerp’s food landscape has continuously evolved through exchange\, innovation and diversity.Whether you’re passionate about food history\, design\, museums or simply curious about Antwerp’s unique relationship with food\, this is a rare opportunity to experience the exhibition through the insights of its curator and gain a deeper understanding of the city that hosts EDIBLE.Duration: Approximately 90 minutesLanguage: English

SUMMARY:ENSEMBLE - Food\, Art & Community Dinner
DESCRIPTION:“What can art mean for food?”To mark the opening night of the pilot edition of EDIBLE: Food + Design Confluence in Antwerp\, the International Center for Food Design (i-fooddesign) presents ENSEMBLE – Food\, Art & Community Dinner on Wednesday\, 14 October from 18:00 onwards at Lucy’s\, Paleisstraat 41\, 2018 Antwerp. The event is made possible with the support of the District of Antwerp.ENSEMBLE is a shared dining experience exploring how food can function as a universal language—connecting people across cultures\, generations and lived experiences through art\, storytelling and the act of eating together.The evening begins with BELONGING\, a participatory artwork designed by Vishwa Patel (UAE/IT). Guests are invited to contribute their own recipes\, memories and reflections\, collectively exploring food\, cultural diversity and community in Antwerp.This is followed by an interactive Food ART Gallery designed by Raluca Blaga (RO/JP)\, before guests gather around the table for a shared meal featuring edible and thought-provoking projects by Marinella Protopapa (IT)\, Clarisse Floch (FR)\, Kristina Breznik (SI) and Tanushree Kulkarni (USA/IN).Through food\, art\, film and conversation\, ENSEMBLE transforms dinner into a participatory cultural and educational experience. Each edible project becomes a starting point for exchanging perspectives and reflecting on the relationships between food\, creativity\, culture\, society and the future of our food systems.More than simply sharing a meal\, ENSEMBLE asks what can happen when different stories\, cultures and experiences are given a place at the same table.Participation is offered on a pay-what-you-can basis\, helping to keep the experience as inclusive and accessible as possible. Those who wish to contribute can help support the organisational costs and future development of the ENSEMBLE initiative.
