Groundtable is a collective that investigates the idea of a universal food identity and the socio-anthropological dimensions of culinary heritage and migration. We explore the exchange of familiar and unfamiliar ingredients, recipes, histories, fictions, and imaginations. We have also extended our research on the socio-anthropological dimensions of specific ingredients. Using participatory methods like workshops and recipe sharing, we collaborate with local and international communities.
Groundtable emerged in 2024 in Germany, as the converging point for:
