Food Friction: an art research conference

Artistic research conference Food Friction commenced on the 30th of November, 2018 in Arnhem, the Netherlands. A city in the Netherlands known for its fashion and a famous World War II battle, it is also home to ArtEZ University of the Arts which organised the event curated by food designer Katja Gruijters. Topics circled the role that designers can play in creating new perspectives and finding possible solutions for the planetary and environmental crises that are impacting our food system, our supply chains, our health and our behaviour. By hosting talks, workshops, performances, and edible interventions, Food Friction intends to spark interdisciplinary collaborations between politicians, scientists, artists and entrepreneurs and display to visitors the value of the critical and creative thought processes needed to ignite innovation.
