The Cookery is an event focused on artistic practices that use technology in an accessible and inclusive way. The Cookery aims to create a safe environment for debate, knowledge exchange, learning by doing-it-yourself and -with-others, and participative performances.

And of course, The Cookery wouldn’t be true to its name without delicious food to share around the table in a relaxed atmosphere!

The entire iMAL space will be configured as a large Cookery where we will brew new ideas, heat up experiments and let creativity boil! A space, open and connected, full of tools and ingredients to create.

The Cookery 2024 will host international artists, designers and makers aiming to promote cross-cutting connections and collaborative dynamics with the local community.

Together, we will delve around the wide intersection between art and science; a critical look on digital fabrication and maker culture; and a bricolage, diy, lowtech approach to making instruments, music and sound.

With The Cookery, we want to invite the artistic community to explore artistic experimentation & production through digital technologies, while encouraging critical thinking through practice, creative reflection and public debate.
