Every time we eat, without being aware of it, we connect our plate to a plethora of remote sites: supermarkets, dark stores, greenhouses, farms, cold chains, logistics networks, warehouses, and wastelands. FOODSCAPES prompts us to focus on the overlooked but crucial architecture that supports our food systems, from the domestic laboratories of our kitchens to the vast operational landscapes that nourish our cities. FOODSCAPES surveys the current status of our food system to look toward the future and wonder about other possible models, capable of feeding the world without devouring the planet.

The exhibition was composed of three main parts: an audiovisual project of five short films, an archive in the form of a recipe book, and a comprehensive public programme. Through lectures, workshops, film screenings, and guided tours, we extend an invitation for you to engage in an exploration of the intricacies of global food systems, encouraging deeper understandings, unearthing hidden narratives, and cultivating a collective commitment to building more sustainable, equitable, and resilient futures for all.

Curated by Eduardo Castillo-Vinuesa & Manuel Ocaña, FOODSCAPES continued and expanded the curatorial project presented at the Spanish Pavilion during the 18th International Venice Architecture Biennale.
