~ Protopian Dinner ~

Nico Shi as part of her artist in residency program will be hosting a collaborative dinner at Xenoform Labs, in a conversation around Protopias on April 18th, 2024.

Protopia refers to a state of development that, rather than trying to be perfect, aims for realistic, incremental progress toward an optimistic future.

At this ‘Protopian’ Dinner, together we will prepare an event where we talk about the idea of Protopias, in the form of a rejuvenating meal designed to enhance the wellbeing of individuals, our community, and our earth.

~ Ethos ~

The Protopian dinner will be designed and prepared with ethically-grown ingredients. The meal will be designed to encourage a healthy and balanced body with rainbow colors 🌈, and will be prepared with a collective effort as a fun group bonding activity.

To encourage conversation, we will prompt interesting topics about the pursuit of protopias with flash cards, and dedicate time for everyone to share their experiences with their personal protopias.

We’d like to host up to 16 people (8 per table).
