Are you looking for new spaces for story sharing around food and culture in Brussels? Then, Open Kitchen is “the place” to be.

Home has always been a place for gathering with friends and family. There is nothing new about it. However, Open Kitchen cultural project is changing the way we use the domestic spaces for cultural performances, relationship building and human interaction. Larger and more trusted online networks bring new advantages to homeowners: it is becoming easier to trust people and consume together in a collaborative way. You can now safely bring some open-minded people to your place and provide them new services: sing, learn, cook, share… there are no limits.

What happens, what do you hear see, hear or eat in those places? Food is homemade and traditional, proudly prepared by passionate non-professional cooks who want to share their special recipes and get better at something that matters to them.

There are often concerts, performances and exhibitions. More and more creative people are looking for places where they can perform, exchange knowledge and directly interact with potential audiences and people that want to “taste” their creations. Attractions in this new scene have a discovery effect, underground feeling and are great places for networking.

Open Kitchen started as an idea of our colaborator in Up & Coming Manuel Pueyo and has been doing such fun events since 2011. They combine food and performances. They have a very international crowd and they focus on the design of a truly authentic experience that happens every time in different places.

You can subscribe here to their newsletter and be on the loop of the next events to come. And here you can find a platform that lists all the artists that are open to perform at home.

So, what kind of person are you? A host, cook, performer or guest?
