SUMMARY:Invisible Connections
DESCRIPTION:Through herbs and food\, this aperitivo experience invites participants to explore often unseen connections\, meanings\, memories and perspectives\, discovering a new language that makes the invisible tangible. \n\n\n\nParticipants are divided according to a shared element: herbs. Here\, the identity of each one finds its place within the group\, and becomes a story to share\, encouraging active listening. \n\n\n\nWhile interacting with a mirror installation that moves the attention to details that usually remain unnoticed\, the designer\, Martino Fiorito (IT)\, narrates a storytelling\, showing hidden forms of communication. What does each plant have to tell?   \n\n\n\nFinally food becomes the medium to communicate\, and the focus moves to collaboration. Each group is challenged to translate an intention into something they can share\, using herbs and ingredients as their creative language. \n\n\n\nThe experience ends with a moment of exchange: the groups mix\, participants find a new mate\, and share their messages with a bite\, using food as a universal language.
