Food & Form
An art + dining experience. This event is all about utilizing the power of food to bring people together in questioning their relationship to nudity. Influenced by the Japanese art form of Nyotaimori, Food & Form strives to create a different narrative of body types and genders that can partipate in this unique art form. Both Coco Büstin and Chantelle Castano have hosted many workshops and retreats around the exploration of nudity. This event is intended to be seen as performance art and invites guests into a collaboration in one portion of the event’s itinerary in the creation of “human-botanical landscapes.”
Co-hosted with Chan from Soluna Medicines
