Moving thematically to the second week, the festival expanded geographically, focusing on common ways of being together around the dinner table. Students from MIT created a unique culinary experience in collaboration with Patriko: Indigenous fine dining, exploring concepts of association that break down ethnographic boundaries. Through a series of participatory actions in the public space, the public was invited to redefine their relationship with the city’s shoreline and to appropriate public space, taking into account key development projects of land reclamation, deforestation and reforestation on the island. These actions were coordinated by Eisa Baddour from Syria, drama school THEATROLA and the ecological art school of Andri Christofidi.
