It project at the Villa Medici
At Villa Medici, it residency project is devoted to research and experimentation into banquets made with leftovers. More specifically, research time will focus on Cucina Povera, a so-called poor cuisine, born of peasant traditions, whose recipes are composed of accessible ingredients, already there, depending on where you are. It’s a cuisine made from little, cobbled-together, resourceful and uncodified, to feed hungry mouths and bellies. This research will intersect several lines of thought around the banquet, what’s left over and what’s left to us, commensality, and bodies that are hungry, in other words, bodies that resist.
