Drifting Realities: The Archipelago of Food Discourses
漂移現實：食語群島

“Drifting Realities” is a new annual platform for public programs initiated by UCCA Center for Contemporary Art. As the framework for a series of ongoing public programs including lectures, panel talks, performances, workshops, and cinema arts, each edition of “Drifting Realities” will last for three months, over the course of which artists, theorists, and cultural practitioners are invited to explore, present, and discuss their areas of expertise through sessions both online and on site (in accordance with ongoing health and safety conditions).

“Drifting Realities: The Archipelago of Food Discourses” includes panel talks and workshops both online and on site at UCCA, and will explore different online formats through the parallel publishing project Cookbook of the Pandemic Year. Programming will focus on the humanistic meanings of sharing, hospitality, intimacy, acceptance, and caring as represented by food, and position the museum as a collective public kitchen and a spiritual space for communion—a place that encourages community interaction, discussion, participation, and sharing­—basic daily experiences that allow for people to meet and connect with others.          

Participants include Aslı Çavuşoğlu, The Center for Genomic Gastronomy, Doreen Chan, Peter Chan,  Chen Xiaoyang, Po-Chih Huang, Rania Ho, Renan Laru-an, Fang Lu and Arie Kishon, Tayeba Begum Lipi and Mahbubur Rahman, Liu Shiyuan, Antje Majewski, Mao Chenyu, Lo Lai Lai Natalie, Elia Nurvista, Xu Tan, Wu Jianru, Ran Zhang.
