Please arrive by 10.30AM for registration at the registration counter. We look forward to seeing you and having a fruitful discussion. For The Current Convening #3, Lucy + Jorge Orta’s discursive brunch draws from the tradition of communal eating to create a platform that explores questions relating to the ocean, such as the entitlements of resources, its waters, food security, as well as ownership of oceanic practices, materials, and images. For this participatory event, the artists designed a tablecloth relating to these topical discussions. During the brunch, the guests will continue to examine the questions raised during Convening #3’s Talanoa* sessions. This special meal is developed in collaboration with restaurateur Ken Loon of Singapore’s The Naked Finn, who has locally sourced the ingredients, each of which will be explained and related back to the wider conversation of Singapore’s food sources, its specific environment, and infrastructure.Since their first Act of 70 x 7 The Meal in 2000, Lucy + Jorge Orta have presented over 40 variations of the meal and have brought together tens of thousands of people from all walks of life. *Talanoa (talanoa.com.au)A term used throughout the Pacific to designate guided roundtable discussions used to share information and facilitate communal conversation. The talanoa sessions will take place on Thursday, 25 January 2018.For more information on The Current Convening #3, please click here. The event is currently sold out.
