Around Our Table

The workshop focuses on one of the most recognisable symbols of hospitality as its centerpiece - the tablecloth. the evening will be hosted by iulia aionesi and zeo mancini, horeca workers and artists featured in Sleepy Press' latest publication, Hospitality Playbook.

we gather around the table to collectively stitch, mend, embroider and sew what has been taken away from us by ‘stress-resilient’ horeca working experiences.

the tablecloth will be our journal and wishbone. we want to reflect on how working in horeca has rebuilt our perception of hospitality and labour, and to imagine alternative future scenarios through shapes, threads, symbols, and poetry.

the workshop welcomes 14 participants (cultural workers and artists working in horeca). we ask you to bring a meaningful piece of cloth, that can become part of our collective tablecloth.

we will start with dinner at 18:00, at De Sering West.
