AW Dumpling Tales 2024 - banner agenda

Sometimes a unique atmosphere is found around the kitchen table; we are with others in ways that would not be possible elsewhere. Indonesian collective ruangrupa/GudSkul unfolds the beauty of informal conditions and how knowledge circulates through them. How can being around the kitchen table create the optimal conditions to let things happen? To explore this question, the collective collaborates with Mirra Markhaëva, an artist who is active in the artistic workspace of Globe Aroma and developed Dumpling Tales, a series of performative dinners. Guests learn about three types of dumplings originating in various places and cultures. Why dumplings? Due to their form, they are often a metaphor for hospitality; making dumplings requires patience, physical effort and the desire to share time with people. The School of Conviviality: Dumpling Tales is open for two days, and it’s possible to register for one evening or both. A group of people learns about, makes and eats dumplings together. It’s the starting point to meet other people and celebrate the art of telling stories that can be personal, collective, traditional, invented or true. Welcome to this school where collective cooking, music, conversations, karaoke and sharing stories might come together.

“The School of Conviviality: Dumpling Tales” is part of KunstenFestivaldesArts.
