Food Fictions brings together a range of guests from environmental activists, social media personalities, to health promoters and food technologists to share their insights and contribute to a discussion on what and how we might consume food through a lens in the future.
The discussion will take place around speculative future food prototypes that explore trajectories of current trends and emerging technological disruptions, which will shape what we eat and how food will shape our identities. Member of the pubic are invited to witness the unfolding discussions and join the debate. Places limited and booking is essential.
A display of Food Fiction prototypes will be open to the public from 11.00 to 16.30.
