The tongue will trace the taste of dishes that are weaved along stories of a kitchen that is dispossessed, the hands will trace the handprints on stoneware designed to host, add and interact.  

This year, unlike the larger scale dinner performances Palestine Hosting Society has been producing since its establishment in 2018, and its research on disappearing recipes and food practices in Palestine, to currently developing smaller more focused dinner experiences that weave eating/interacting/sharing/storytelling and histories of dishes with pottery design.

The tongue tracing the hand tracing the earth, will take you in an experiential dinner setting will be sensorial on multiple levels, from auditory to textural to gastronomic.
