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.

How far can we trust our senses when we enter a completely new environment and some of our senses are muted? What if someday we have to live our life in this environment? Would our senses adapt or break instead? What would happen if you could eat the light? How does it taste? Our focus artist Nindya Nareswari invites the participants to experience and play with perception, senses and space through her magic light works and our culinary synthesis. About the artist Nindya Nareswari is a lighting designer and artist based in Berlin. Her work ranges from light objects and sculptures, visual arts, to set and stage lighting design, and light art installations. Light, materials, and experience have always been the core keys in her works. She is passionate in experimentation with light and materials to study various light effects on different materials. Her works focus on creating an emotional and interactive experience for the audience. www.nindyanareswari.com @__nareswari__  Empathy Supper is a performative event incorporating art and culinary experience taking place every two months in different venues in Berlin with the goal of provoking a discussion about the exploration and expression of identity. Every edition features a collaboration with a focus artist from different discipline and background which results in unconventional, unforeseeable, always-changing performances. Soydivision Berlin aims to explore all possible permutations; mixing, matching, amplifying, reducing in a performative as well as culinary context, ultimately translating their events into an interface for experimentations in the hope that it will help make sense of the environment we live in.23.02.2020Sari-SariLichtenrader Str. 49, 12049 BerlinFocus Artist : Nindya NareswariAdvance RSVP required via rsvp@soydivision.berlinLIMITED 20 PAX Suggested donation 33€ ** We strive to make our supper available for everyone, but at the same time we do need to cover the costs for organising, cooking, performing and renting.

Guest at the Market Focus segment at this year’s London Book Fair, Indonesia has an active literary scene that throws an observational light at the efforts of a young, diverse country trying to come to terms with the modern globalised world. “Relax, It’s Just Religion” is a project by writer Feby Indirani. It is an attempt to see past, and maybe even laugh, at the complicated veneer of religion while simultaneously accept it for its important role in society and the humanity it can and still inspires. And what better way than that most communal and intimate of congregation: The Dinner Table? So let us invite you to a night of Indonesian food, playful literary exploration and an audio-visual performance. We serve indonesian inspired food, with most of the ingredients locally sourced. Our main ingredient is tempeh, a type of fermented soy-cake that is a staple food in Indonesia. Vegan and versatile, we think tempe is the future!  Feby Indirani Feby Indirani is an Indonesian author and journalist who mostly focuses on women and minority issues.

This time we will have Don Aretino as our highlight artist for the next 3 Empathy Supper series. Don Aretino is an Indonesian-born, Berlin-based fashion designer and multimedia artist who explores his identity as a gay Muslim through his collections. &nbsp;For his trilogy performances in Empathy Supper, he will gather various narrative from his previous collections such: “Halal”, “Insular”, “Primer”, and “Don’t drop the soap”. On each supper, he will curate some performative actions together with our soydivision residents and other future collaborators (TBA). The official description of each performance will be released anytime soon. Meanwhile, these are some glimpse of his four works that will be incorporated to his Empathy Supper Trilogy. All summary taken from his latest interview with freundevonfreunden.com (all right reserved), read the whole interview here: https://www.freundevonfreunden.com/interviews/berlin-don-aretino/ HALAL (2018) “In Islam there are certain parts of the body that are Haram, which means something you are not allowed to show. Conversely, something that is Halal is something that is permitted,” Aretino explains. “For men, the Haram part is between his belly button and his knees. So with Halal, I decided to subvert the rule by exposing this part of the body.” DON’T DROP THE SOAP (2018)  Similar themes resonate through Aretino’s other collections, which Probandt proceeds to dress up in, emerging in an outfit from an earlier collection titled Don’t Drop the Soap. Taking its inspiration from an article by Berkeley anthropologist Alan Dundes in which he lenses American football as a homoerotic rite, the collection explores the notion of sports locker rooms as platforms for homoeroticism” INSULAR (2019)  “The last outfit that Probandt emerges in is from Aretino’s latest collection Insular, which explores the theme of xenophobia. “Halal showcased my perspective of being gay in the Islamic world, so in Insular I decided to make a collection about my parents’ perspective on this subject,” he explains. In order to reflect his mum and dad’s unfamiliarity with homosexuality, Aretino used materials he hadn’t worked with before such as sequins, fur “and fabrics not usually used for menswear like lace and pearls.” By mixing them all together, he hoped to make garments that were very “flashy, invasive, and exaggerated”, illustrating how skeptical outsiders may perceive the gay community” PRIMER (2019)  “Primer, his self-produced film which was recently screened at Trauma Bar. Created in collaboration with Berlin-based interdisciplinary duo Crosslucid—who have worked with the likes of Nike and digital artist Sam Rolfes— Primer combines views of garments from Insular with found footage, and a text by Ion Dumitrescu which explores the concept of ‘hybrid nomads’, and questions what society would be like if being non-binary was the norm” Visual glimpse of his collaboration with non-binary artist Mikey Wood:  About the artist Indonesian – born, Berlin-based designer Don Aretino has been working for brands, such as SADAK &amp; House of Malakai throughout his studies.
