PS21/PATHWAYS. Food Cultures: a Conversation

Presented in partnership with Villa Albertine

PS21 Pavilion Theater, Two Pauls Cafe & Patio

Sunday June 23, at 2 pm

General Admission:  $15 , includes full day of events and complimentary drinks and cheese.

Youth & Children are free.

Celebrates summer for the entire family, with a feast for your mind and your taste buds. Discover a world of cuisines, create an edible pastry map of New York, and unwind at the dance craze party! Food Cultures is presented by PS21 and Cultural Services of the French Embassy's Villa Albertine.

What does the food we eat say about us and the world we live in, and what stories can we tell through food? How has the way we eat evolved, and what will our food future look like?

Join Villa Albertine and PS21 for an afternoon of conversations reflecting on some of the most urgent economic, social, and environmental issues of our time through the prism of food.   

The event will feature two panel discussions, one on the intersection of food and migration, and the other on the future of sustainable farming, as well as a participative workshop led by an architect and pastry chef, followed by a dance party in the evening.

About PS21

A vibrant center for contemporary performance in the Hudson Valley, PS21 “presents work that challenges and invites” (The New York Times): adventurous productions by leading and emerging American and international artists in music, dance, and theater, and visionaries creating entirely new genres. On our open-air Pavilion Theater stage, across our expansive, unspoiled grounds, and in the diverse surrounding communities, PS21 cultivates and presents productions that transcend aesthetic boundaries and revitalize existing artistic languages and grammars. Throughout the year, we host developmental residencies for dancers, musicians, actors, and creators of original, even unclassifiable new work. Rooted in community collaboration, PS21’s programming engages creatively with critical global and social issues. It is a mecca for innovative and original artistic voices, a destination for performance that can be experienced nowhere else in the region. PS21’s Pavilion Theater is a green-energy marvel surrounded by 100 acres of unspoiled meadows, trails, and woodlands that are a haven to wildlife and visitors across the region.  Integrated into our unspoiled campus, the theater embodies our commitments to the public: open, inviting, and optimized for their enjoyment and encouraging citizen expression and participation.
