22.1.2025 – 2.3.2025 

Through sharing kitchen talk and kitchen traditions, Everlasting Soup aims to create a solidaric environment for precarious cultural workers and others to discuss their livelihoods and working conditions. The exhibition is co-curated, co-hosted, and co-cooked by Farbod Fakharzadeh and Katie Lenanton, with artist collaborators Alejandra Alarcón, Bebetton (Eeva Rönkä & Jani A Purhonen), Michaela Casková, and Gladys Camilo. The group works through and with the metaphor of a pot of everlasting soup, in which the remnants of one day’s broth become tomorrow’s beginnings.

The group puts forward a collective curatorial practice that strives to foster long-term processual relationships. Alongside this, edible artworks develop, accumulate, and are consumed during public tastings. The space’s interior cauldron simmers with research threads connected to drink-making, broth-tending, cake-baking, and transforming scraps. Thoughts, objects, and people marinate together. Instead of an opening, a finissage celebration presents six weeks of research, conversations, and residues.
