Manifestation Pickling is an invitation to preserve food together around a sofreh made of fruits and vegetables. Together, we will make pickles as a communal gathering – inspired by pickle-making common in several West Asian cuisines.
The sofreh holds significance because it is a mobile nomadic tool of carrying food and a space of gathering. In this event, we will talk about preservation of food followed by collectively sharing pickle recipes while cutting, peeling, gossiping, debating whose method is better, and designing colorful pickles with vegetables & fruits.
We will take a moment to inscribe our desired manifestations onto the pickles. As we embody these pickles by eating them in the near future, we allow the act of preservation to infuse into our bodies with more acknowledgement.
The event will be held in English. The number of participants for the workshop is limited.
This event is part of »Companion Planting«, a collaborative series by Künstlerhaus Stuttgart and Akademie Schloss Solitude, inspired by the gardening practice in which different plants grow stronger side by side. The series cultivates a similar ecology of exchange, where both institutions support, nourish, and inspire one another, allowing new ideas and practices to take root and flourish. It regularly presents formats in which Solitude fellows engage with the community of Künstlerhaus Stuttgart, creating spaces for encounter, dialogue, and shared growth.
