Mapa caníbal (Edible Version)

Shall we feast on the city? 
Mapa Caníbal invites us to eat our way through a large edible map of Olot. As we eat, conversations unfold around the landscape, traditions, neighbourhoods, housing and food.

With food as its central element, Mapa Caníbal serves as both a graphic and symbolic representation of the territory, addressing issues such as gentrification, self-sufficiency, the right to housing and the appropriation of the landscape.
The map delves into culinary traditions and the ever-evolving migration of our tastes, creating a space to reflect on the relationship between place and gastronomy.

Maria Camila Sanjinés Encinales (Bogotá) produces work that delves into political questions around gender, diversity, legality, displacement and borders. Her practice is rooted in ongoing research, moving between tangible forms such as drawing, ceramics and embroidery, and more abstract tools like performance and sound. She also engages with a range of disciplines, including graphic novels, performing arts and literature.
Mapa Caníbal is part of a series of staged cartographies by Sanjinés, following on from the work begun with Mapa Líquid (2024). The project is a collaboration between the Sismògraf and Eufònic festivals, fostering an artistic dialogue between two Catalan territories. Through contemporary artistic creation, this partnership explores different ways of understanding, inhabiting and relating to the landscape.
