Empathy Supper.
latest : Empathy Supper (x) Impuls Festival 2023
Food, our most fundamental necessity, has been a cornerstone of human civilization's progress through cultivation. Throughout our history, food has not only nourished our bodies but has also served as a social catalyst, enabling interpersonal connections, fostering mutual understanding, and resonating with the emotions of others. Recognizing its profound social, political, and emotional significance, in 2018, Soydivision embarked on an artistic format, utilizing food as a medium of expression alongside sound, visuals, and movement. This endeavor gave birth to 'Empathy Supper,' an immersive, multi-sensory experience that delves into contemporary themes with a critical perspective.
Soydivision operates as a collaborative platform, placing a high value on the societal impact of art. They actively engage with a diverse range of practices, with the aim of transforming artistic strategies into empathy-driven experiences for their audience. Go here for main sōydivision website
