Located on the Esplanade de la Paix along Lake Geneva, this architecturally designed modular structure functions simultaneously as a kitchen, meeting place, performance venue, discussion forum, dining area, and gathering space. Rather than conventional catering, the Cuisine Pavilion will host themed meals, concerts, public conversations, citizens' assemblies, collective cooking sessions, and multidisciplinary artistic programming.
Open to international collectives and multidisciplinary teams. Artists, designers, architects, chefs, food practitioners, cultural producers, and socially engaged practitioners are encouraged to apply. Collaborative groups with experience in community-based projects, hospitality, food culture, or participatory artistic practices are particularly welcome. Applicants must be able to manage both artistic programming and meal services and be available to work in Vevey during the installation period and throughout the festival dates. No nationality or age restrictions.
The selected collective will prepare affordable vegetarian meals with vegan options while developing creative programming that reflects collaboration, sustainability, craftsmanship, and public participation. The project should emphasize seasonal ingredients, regional food culture, environmentally conscious practices, and meaningful interaction between artists, local producers, residents, and festival audiences. Cooking is to be viewed as a creative medium capable of generating dialogue, experimentation, and collective imagination.
