The Gramounce

Spain

Inês and Kevin are members of The Gramounce, a collective researching food-based art and contemporary politics. The Gramounce pursues the reconceptualisation of the world through food, reframing a foodscape reality where to develop an artistic practice. Through alternative education, residencies, workshops, and a supper club, the collective studies food as a valid discipline in the arts and academia, understanding food as foundational to any world-building exercise.

Inês Coelho da Silva is a Portuguese artist and researcher. Thinking mainly through sculpture and food-making, she identifies the kitchen table as a multi-layered topos for reflecting upon shared traditions, identities and emotions, while thinking about the simultaneous acts of eating and being eaten as forms of care. Between crockery and tablecloths, her visual poems open discussions on local foodscapes, overlooked ecosystems and opportunities for interspecies symbiosis in a shared world.

Kevin Bellò is an Italian curator and researcher investigating edible knowledge, and a co-founder of the pan-European art collective Sympoietic Society. By curating through cooking, writing and interdisciplinary co-creation, their work suggests alternative intra and inter-species collaboration formats, where storytelling intertwines with documentation to review discourses around history and futures. Their focus on food opens to ecological and political reflections while promoting cognitive justice and developing practices of care.
