From the field to gastronomy, hybrid initiatives led by artists in the fields of agriculture and food are multiplying on a European scale. The Table and the Territory (T&T) is a transdisciplinary European cooperation program that accompanies this new scene and promotes the importance of Culture-based Solutions.

Organized and animated by Nathalie Blanc, research director at the Laboratoire des Dynamiques Sociales et de Recomposition des Espaces (LADYSS-CNRS), the seminar “Art, Food and Transformation of European Territories” is an opportunity to discover artistic practices that modify our relationship to food in a context of climate change.

Accessible to all, it questions the practices and commitments of artists, curators, scientists, directors of farms, urban and rural, third places and art centers, in order to better define the contours of these new transdisciplinary models, and the role of artists in the transformation of imaginations as well as of territories.
