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.

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.

SUMMARY:Foodpilgrims Heritage Tasting Walk
DESCRIPTION:Where does our food future really come from? In honour of UN World Food Day 2026\, on the morning of Friday 16th October 2026\, de Foodarchaeloog Jeroen van Vaerenbergh will guide an enthusiastic group of Foodpilgrims on a 15km sensory journey from Rupelmonde to Antwerp.A culinary migration from the 16th century Renaissance to sustainable future food\, Foodpilgrims is designed to connect Antwerp’s upcoming Smaakhaven with its origins. Between the 16th-century tidal mill of Rupelmonde and the city\, participants will experience how food\, landscape\, and innovation have always grown together.Through walking\, distance regains meaning and food history becomes tangible. As a living prologue to the Smaakhaven\, Foodpilgrims demonstrates that true innovation is rooted in craftsmanship and ingenuity. The story connects city and hinterland\, past and future\, and invites us to look differently at how we produce\, share\, and appreciate food.Along the way\, participants stop to sample the food innovations that time has to offer\, created by today’s Flemish tastemakers including gingerbread 2050 of artistic baker Laura Geurten\, Free Spirit bread of De Bakkerij etc.Tip: Wear comfortable walking shoes\, carry an umbrella and a bottle of water to stay hydrated.About de Foodarcheoloog:Jeroen Van Vaerenbergh\, De Foodarcheoloog\, investigates archaeological food remains and uncovers fascinating stories about the everyday survival of ordinary people in the past\, revealing a sustainable message that still resonates today.
