Dinner & Open Discussion: The Drift of the Alien
The Drift of the Alien is conceived as a living, cross-disciplinary dinner — a gathering where food becomes a medium for dialogue and the table a site of encounter. Over an evening of shared dishes and conversation, participants will explore species migration, ecological disruption, and adaptation across the Mediterranean.
Bringing together perspectives from the arts, sciences, environment, and society, the event opens a space for interdisciplinary reflection on the shifting ecologies that connect us. Panelists include Marios Papageorgiou, Periklis Kleitou, Argyro Toumazou, and Yiannis Colakides.
The dinner will be prepared by guest chef Giorgos Rossides, featuring dishes made with lionfish — an invasive species turned ingredient — as a point of departure for reflections on adaptation, sustainability, and coexistence in the Mediterranean.
