Phase 2
Tanha Gomes and Sandrine Côté
Petit guide pratique pour un banquet imaginaire
Workshop
The creative workshop by Tanha Gomes and Sandrine Côté explores notions of reception and hospitality, particularly through the act of sharing a cup of tea as a healing practice. The project is rooted in meetings and creative workshops held by the artists since 2021 with groups of young people, seniors and families in Côte-des-Neiges, Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, Pierrefonds and other neighbourhoods. During the Around the table event, the artists invited the public to take part in a herbal tea bag creation workshop. Together, the participants and the artists reflected on social justice issues while sharing the sensations that different scents procured them while sharing a cup of tea.
