Thank you so much.”

Meet the Hosts:

Jiajia Li (李佳佳) is a Chinese artist who lives and works in Germany. She strives to explore the depth of the unconscious through art and to express emotions in art.

Luana Nemteanu is a Romanian-born, Canadian-grown experience designer, creative empowerment coach and multidisciplinary creative.

Our Inspiration
“Inspiration”, derived from the Latin 'inspirare', meaning “to breathe into”, suggests an infusion of spirit or spark that ignites an inner fire. Indeed, inspiration, is a feeling not solely experienced in the mind, but felt in the chest, that permeates through the whole body, bringing joy, motivation and creativity.
Cultivating inspiration is what Between Taste and Touch is all about. The inspiration for this event came after experiencing a shared meal at Eszenzia, where their creative dishes moved the tastebuds of everyone, and brought joy to all at the table. The visions of creative dreams, colours and collaboration that came after eating the food, sparked a glorious collaboration between food, design and art from which Between Taste and Touch was born.
When inspiration leads to creative action, the breath feels complete. It is therefore with great joy that we invite you to connect to your sense of inspiration through food and new connections, then to translate those visions to a creative work of art.
Come for the flow, stay for the food.
