    Workshop in Venice with architecture students from Ascoli Piceno

    We wanted to update you on an exciting cultural exchange opportunity we will have while exhibiting the MFC in Venice!

    For three days we will hold a design-built workshop in partnership with third year architecture students from the Faculty of Architecture at Ascoli Piceno of the University of Camerino.
    Over these three days we will exchange ideas with the students and faculty about our respective food cultures as well as how designers are engaging with social issues. The end goal is to create a temporary space in Venice that engages visitors to the Biennale, residents, and tourists by highlighting the mission of the MFC. We hope to gain an understanding of food issues present in communities in Italy and around the world and learn techniques and strategies that will help our work here in Chicago.

    The workshop will take place from Thursday August 26 through Saturday August 28 so please view our website for updates!

    Funds raised through Kickstarter are supporting this effort so thank you to have all donated!
