The Used-To Project is a series of unusual food performances that are designed to observe our own habits of getting used-to everything around. 

The first chapter will take place in Helsinki, at the historic Lapinlahde Art Center. This multidisciplinary event – including photography, animation, music and performances – approaches the Used-To concept by addressing how we are coping with the myriads of ongoing conflicts around the world.

Depending on where we stand the responses are boundless, but for most one thing is for sure, for the better or for the worst, we adapt.

The food performance is the common thread connecting these stories of hardship, taking a step back and pushing us all – those directly impacted and those only impacted through their screens – to feel and acknowledge how we digest these intolerable realities.

Unusual Dinners work as a stage where participants are called to confront the shadows which we usually shy away from. Built on participation, this performance aim to trigger our senses, opening up to art through food and music.

By shaking our emotional body, it strives to better counteract our Used-To mode of being, co-creating a roadmap to re-cognize our true selves.
