reFrame: Love About Food Past Event

Presented by Dr Xavier Ho, Dr Yun Tae Nam & Dr Indae Hwang

How does good food, I mean, really good food, make you feel?

There is a universal, sensational experience that turns flavour into laughter, spices into smiles. From the tingling feeling at the tip of the tongue, to the slow-cooked broth that coats the mouth, the joy of food can always be found. During the two weeks leading up to Melbourne Design Week, we invited students and staff on campus to spotlight their most memorable delicious moments. We not only wanted to elevate and celebrate the human emotion through culinary memories, but also to uncover the undiscovered secret eats of Melbourne food experience. The result is a collection of human emotions, foodie photographs, and delicious messages. This project is for you, food lovers.

On the workshop day, we will recount the lessons we learned through the making of this project, and share the Melbourne food photos and messages people submitted.

This event is ticketed (subject to availability) and alternatively Online via Zoom.
