VIAL is an open event that showcases different levels of expertise to what nurturing refers to as a social and artistic practice. From academically based research mediation to local craft within what "Nurturing" implies. We provide an open space to foster a social mass through art and cultural practices
(participants: Researchers, artists, experts, visitors, facilitators) and to raise awareness of different forms of "Nurturing" - How do we promote? What are the specificities within intersectional urgencies?

We explored questions like: What has access to my body? What enters my mouth? What transgresses my boundaries?

Nurturing is a form of implicit consent, a grey area where we allow ourselves to be touched by someone or something, we allow food to change our bodies. This approach has a political level: do we really know what goes into our own bodies? How can we care if we don't care? Is there an implicit trust in the market and in cultural practices? Is destruction also a form of care or just an additive method? How is my identity affected by food? What role does my gender identity play in society as a provider or as a person who is able to provide food?

We addressed all these questions in an expanded way, including sound performances, live food performances, and art installations that look at non-Western food practices. We interview health science experts who support biopolitical discourses on nutrition and explore alternative care practices.
