Hi, I’m Fede (she/they), an Italian artist, cook, and facilitator based in Brussels.
After studyin Philosophy in Italy, germany and the Netherlands, I moved to Brussels to try and become an artist. Since a few years, a big part of my work gravitates around public space and the use of food as a tool to open a dialogue between people and their environment.
 

In 2024, I launched a weekly community kitchen in partnership with an urban farm in Brussels. Each Tuesday morning,

a group of about 10 people met to cook and eat together delicious vegetarian meals. This initiative was part of my

ongoing exploration of sustainable food practices and collective action. I also regularly volunteer in farms around the

world to deepen my knowledge of permaculture and rural life. These hands-on experiences inform my artistic practice,

grounding it in a deeper understanding of ecology and sustainable living.
 

Now I'm entirely devoting myself to Eating the Place, a nomadic research on wild edible plants in anthropised spaces.

This is an evolution of my earlier work Picnic nomade/cooking sessions, where I would set up tables in public spaces,

inviting passersby to spontaneously join in cooking and eating together. Eating the place expands on that idea by exploring

wild plants in urban spaces, and engaging communities in conversations around food sovereignty, ecological awareness, and

the politics of sharing.

Next to all of this I experiment with food, ferment anything I can find and bake oddly shaped bread.
