FOOD DESIGN DAY August

FOOD IMMERSION DAY

A day , all the senses on!

Forget everything you think you know about food. During this intensive day, you will be immersed in the world of food design - not by talking endlessly, but by doing, feeling, smelling, tasting, looking and thinking with your gut.

No theoretical drivel, but lots of inspiring examples and lots of personal attention

  • experiments in which you eat with a blindfold on while sounds manipulate your perception of taste

  • exercises in which you work with others and use food as a means of communication

  • evoking fragrant memories with unexpected combinations

  • sensory confusion as a creative engine

  • thinking about food as ritual, as material, as social activation

  • Taste of silence. Or of discomfort. Or of wonder.

You'll be taught all day by food design pioneer Marije Vogelzang, in her new space Food Design Playground - a monumental building in Dordrecht where the walls whisper about time and taste.

We have lunch together (surprising and made with attention, of course), and at the end of the day you step out with a completely new idea of what food can be. No recipe book. But a head full of new questions.

Why should you participate?

  1. A Heightened Sensory Awareness
    You'll learn how smell, sound, texture and context affect your eating experience - and how to be intentional about it.

  2. New creative tools for working with food
    You'll experience hands-on methods and exercises that you can immediately apply in your own practice - whether in design, education, healthcare, hospitality or art.

  3. A renewed look at food as a communication tool
    You will discover how food not only nourishes, but also tells, connects, confronts and activates.

  4. A concrete idea or impetus for your own project
    Through collaboration, reflection and experimentation, you will leave with an initial spark for your own concept, installation, workshop or dining experience.

→ No prior knowledge required. But hungry for ideas.📍Dordrecht | 🕘 10:00 - 17:00 | 🍽 Includes vegetarian lunch and all materials
