Four kitchens, fourteen people, one recipe passed on in Sarajevo.

For Blanka’s Zeljanica, Anthony Zackery Butcher (@anthonyzbutcher)and Blanka Major (@bla_nka) gathered friends and collaborators in Zürich, Vienna and Munich to cook together across a screen. Dough was kneaded, stretched and rolled into spirals; kitchens grew messy, and strangers became companions.

The evening opened a conversation about food as an architectural material, and about practices that move between cooking, spatial design, performance and care. In Blanka’s work, the kitchen table becomes an infrastructure for participation: a familiar place where barriers soften, knowledge circulates and collective action can take shape.

What began as a shared recipe became a temporary room spanning three cities, built through gestures, conversation and the simple act of making dinner together.

What the air holds,
What the soil remembers.

During Ponto d’Orvalho, @bla_nka created a woven surface suspended among the trees, where the movement of the wind met sound, clay, and food. Something was buried. Something floated. The body remained between these two gestures. Touch was central. So was the shared food. Thank you, Blanka, for inviting us to inhabit this place differently, suspended between earth and sky.

Thank you to @martacypel for the beautiful ceramics and @whynotsoda for the contribution to this special moment at sunset.

Durante o Ponto d’Orvalho, @bla_nka criou uma superfície tecida, suspensa entre as árvores, onde o movimento do vento se encontrou com o som, o barro e a comida. Algo foi enterrado. Algo flutuou. O corpo permaneceu entre estes dois gestos.

O toque foi central. Assim como a comida partilhada. Obrigada, Blanka, por nos convidares a habitar este lugar de uma forma diferente, suspensos entre a terra e o céu.

Obrigada a @martacypel pelas peças de cerâmica e a @whynotsoda pela contribuição para este momento tão especial ao pôr do sol.

A taste of Pálás an Phobail 💚

Last Friday, something different happened at Festival Printworks Gallery.

Pálás an Phobail — tasting a sense of place, created by Blanka Major (@bla_nka) & Hinterland (@hinterlandgalway) as part of Culture Night Late (@culturenight), transformed the gallery into a People’s Palace: an edible, sensory space where food became a way to reconnect with people, stories and place.

Moving through a series of spaces and sensory encounters, they invited us to explore the connections between food, landscape and memory and to taste a sense of place.

From familiar flavours to new encounters, the night brought people together around a shared table and offered a different way of experiencing togetherness, one that felt both deeply rooted and completely new.

A night to remember.

Thank you to everyone who contributed, and everyone who came, shared, listened and made the night what it was. A night about food, place and belonging, and the many ways we come together.

💚

Food as culture.

Tonight we gathered at the Pálás an Phobail as part of @culture_galway to think about how we might rethink our places and spaces and what happens when we look at them through food.

@bla_nka map gave us a starting point: a way of seeing the city through the places where food is grown, shared, prepared, exchanged and eaten and through the relationships, memories and possibilities held within those spaces.

From there, the conversation opened out. What does food tell us about a place? Who gets to use our spaces, and who gets to shape them? What could happen if food, sharing and community were given a more central place in how we imagine our city?

A huge thank you to Blanka, for bringing her work, curiosity and perspective to the evening, and to Professor Anna Davies, TCD and Michael Higgins @bohs_climatecoop for joining the conversation and helping us think beyond food as simply something we consume, towards food as a way of creating connection, belonging and community.

And thank you to everyone who came, listened, questioned, ate, talked and shared the space with us.

It felt like a really special evening and a reminder that sometimes rethinking a place starts simply by gathering people around a table.

Thank you to Frank and the whole @archattheedge team for bringing us together and to everyone who helped make Pálás an Phobail - Tasting a Sense of Place happen: @franniejeffers Oisin @leafandroot Thalli Foods Mike and his oysters @micildistillery @biainnovator kitchens @artscouncilireland @galwaycitycouncil

Food as culture. Food as place. Food as connection.

First glimpses from last weekend, through the lens of @renatomchorao. Our deep gratitude for the level of receptivity and unity we experienced during these glowing days. We felt the soft power of inhabiting a festival, a forest, a meal. We are grateful also for the gestures that brought together artists, chefs, farmers and specialists of this edition around processes and moments of commensality, community and rural life. 𓆈

Thank you for accepting our invitation to synchronize with the rhythms of place, and for making this festival your own. See you in May 2027, for the continuation of a cycle that began now, in such a loving way.
