𝘚𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 is an exhibition and a series of public events activated by Lou Cocody-Valentino, Pushing Hands, Tashattot and Shif–t*. Co-curated by Sjoerd Beijers, Natalija Gucheva and Abel Hartooni (@lp00ze), the programme is hosted by Pilar from 23 September – 24 October.

The project explores the table and its non-Western counterpart, 𝘚𝘶𝘧𝘳𝘢, as spaces where food and stories are shared and where collective meaning is shaped. Here, the table functions as a curatorial framework: defining who gathers, how encounters take place, and what connections emerge. It becomes a tool for rethinking access and participation.

By inviting collectives, artists and communities who might never otherwise meet, to come together to inhabit and activate the exhibition space. The project opens up to horizontal forms of gatherings and exchanges. Through dinners, installations, performances and participatory workshops, the programme aims to initiate new encounters. In doing so, it challenges institutional norms, reframing art spaces as sites of negotiation, dialogue, and hospitality rather than exclusion or passive spectatorship.
