Spacing Montreal is teaming up with the Canadian Centre for Architecture and Avenue Huit to host an event exploring two of our favourite themes: food and, of course, Montreal. How has food shaped the urban landscape over the centuries? How has the city transformed our relationship to food? And how will food and urbanism find common ground in the future?
On April 5th, from 4-9pm, the unconference is a choose-your-own-adventure event, inspired by all the gorgeous spaces the CCA has to offer: Gather in the Shaughnessy house for a salon, hop into a fishbowl conversation in the rotunda, or take part in a story-telling event in the CCA’s bookstore.
There will also be a keynote speech by chef Normand Laprise of Restaurant Toqué, cash bar and tapas by the SAT’s Foodlab. The Spacing Montreal team will be on site all night publishing dispatches from our on-site newsroom which promises a late edition hot off the presses before the night is out.
We’ll also be posting more stories about food and the city here on the blog as the event approaches. In the meantime, please check out the event website, and either RSVP on Facebook, or by emailing bouffe@cca.qc.ca with your favourite food memory of the city in 8 words or less. The best stories will appear during the event.
