Lenka Kubelová: Tasting the Terroir
A tasting and storytelling experience inviting us to explore the character of Libeň’s terroir through flavor. Some tastes may feel familiar, others surprising. And what will they create together? What can the place reveal about itself through its taste?
Lenka Kubelová works with fermentation, kitchen-based dyes, and biocultural hope. She leads community workshops and projects focused on the taste of place. As an editor, she prepared the Czech editions of books by fermentation legends Sandor Katz and Pascal Baudar.

The tasting is the result of the Libeň Terroir workshop.

Vi Huyen Tran: Vůně, která zůstala
ambient ritual through scent, sound, and body
A scent ritual inspired by the sauna – a place of warmth, silence, and sharing. Ambient music and aromatherapy come together in a slow multisensory experience.
We rediscover scents that were once suppressed – resin, moss, wet wood. Silent traces of memory open landscapes both inside and outside the body.
We lie down, breathe, and slow down. All it takes is a breath. Here and now, it smells different.

Nitish Jain: Prelude to First Raindrops
interactive performance lecture
Drifting clouds, restless birds and a lonely ambassador of humanity.
A multisensory collage of migrations: leaving the nest, returning in cycles, or sent into exile. In this interactive performance lecture myths meet memory, and salt meets the sky. Postcolonial storytelling tells us about planetary aches, and entangles us with ecology through scents, sounds and taste.
Flamingoes are not born pink: their color is borrowed from the world they consume. The Jacobin Cuckoo has probably never flown over the Church of the Jacobins in Toulouse. The Golden Record contains greetings to the universe in 55 different languages from the earth.
Yet, have you ever tasted rain as it falls?

Magdalena Malinová: Prostřít krajinu / Serving the Landscape
To gather around a table, sink into silence, and make space for textures, colours, scents. To walk through a landscape without outlines, become part of it, leave a trace, play, and create something delicious and fleeting.
Serving the Landscape is a short, shared preparation of a small feast with playful rules.

Dj Set Vi Huyen Tran
Vi Huyen Tran (*1995, Prague) is a Czech-Vietnamese musician, sound designer, performer, and DJ whose work moves between experimental electronics, sound art, and ritual performance. Her artistic practice is deeply rooted in themes of identity, second-generation experience, modern spirituality, and collective embodied experience. She approaches sound as a space where language and cultural context can dissolve — and where one can simultaneously encounter oneself anew.
