‘5 - The dish’ takes an experimental approach to design practice to question the current status quo of our profession. The project consists of a series of events and workshops that took place in changing urban locations of Helsinki during late 2010, with a focus on the consumption and production of food. Food is an ephemeral material that satisfies one of the most basic needs shared by all humans. It reflects local conditions, traditions, culture and social change. By drawing analogies to past and current movements in the design and art field, ‘5 - The dish’ aims to inspire thought amongst creative professionals, students and laymen about the way we live, work, and consume – now and in the future.
