The Cookery 2025

THE COOKERY IS BACK!

This year’s edition is an integral part of the programme of I Am Vertical (But I Would Rather Be Horizontal), taking place during its last days from September 18th to 21st.

Each of the four workshops will be led by an international artist, paired with an artist based in Belgium. With them, participants will experiment, learn and discuss about microbial fuel cells, energy storage, low-tech light projections and diy electronic music. After two days of exploration, the participants will get to present the outcomes of the workshops on Sunday.

To kick off The Cookery, you’re all invited on Thursday 18th, for a moment of reflection and debate, with presentations and round tables, followed by concerts/performances.

Finally, The Cookery wouldn’t be The Cookery without its creative & relaxed dinners ;)
