The Fermentation Process

The Fermentation Process

In the framework of the curatorial experimentationBoogie,   

The act of fermentation can be likened to the work of a curator within an art institution. Both derive from the Latin curare, meaning "to care for." Just as a curator fosters and preserves art, fermentation is a process of attentive care, where time and patience allow ingredients to evolve and reach their fullest expression. Both acts demand an intentional engagement with time, uncovering layers of depth—whether in flavor or form—through a process of gradual transformation. 

In this workshop, we invite you to explore the intricate practice of fermentation. From the enduring tradition of pickled cabbage, foundational to many cultures, to the briny notes of salted pickles (ogórki kiszone), or the bold complexity of kimchi, fermentation invites an intimate dialogue between nature and nurture. As participants, you will witness the slow unfolding of flavors, observing the nuanced transformation of humble ingredients through traditional preservation methods.
