Geopoetical Eating was a round of conversation, open to the public, at Vaga - Space for Art and Knowledge, in Ponta Delgada. It was a conversation in the form of an assembly that aimed to reunite local points of view on collective practices and community kitchens and that proposed the community as the central plan for debate, reflection and the possibility of the consubstantiality of the production of memory and artistic creation.
With the starting point being, again, the Furnas stew, the intention was to think about the construction and representation of notions of femininity and masculinity in the family and public context, with the proposal of looking at the Caldeira das Furnas as a kitchen in the open sky. To discuss the role of women in the work of emotionally, physically and culturally supporting communities. Thinking of ways to deconstruct gender when rehearsed together, through these practices or rituals.
What are the ritualized components of the Furnas stew? What representations and what perspectives of transformation are at stake?
