POETICS OF HABITATION- FOOD AS THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE

In a world increasingly polarised, where cultures are in conflict with each other, it has never been more important to support and facilitate culturally diverse communities to come together and understand each other better. This project seeks to engender a better sense of belonging and engagement between the foreign expat communities in Beijing and the local Beijingers, who are being forgotten in the progress of gentrification. This new relationship of dialogue and exchange is facilitated through food as the universal language.
