The Balcony

A “girl dinner” is whatever’s available. No hassle, no elaborate preparation, tableware optional. Ultimately, what matters is only you and your needs. Some call it intuitive eating; others say it is an eating disorder in plain sight. It is characterized by nibbling gestures, “eating like a bird,” or, as trendsetter Olivia Maher once described her meal: like a “medieval peasant.”
“Girl, you ate.” is a performance and a happening. A space to stay curious, to share values, and to navigate society while questioning it. It is a chance to be a fool, a silly girl. To be that someone who destabilizes hegemonic structures through play, engagement, and, honestly, just being oneself.
Of course, this also comes with reflection: on this so-called artistic intervention, on popular culture, and on its potential to make change -starting from something deeply personal and individual, like eating.
The event happens over two consecutive days. The first one is a dinner gathering; the second is the leftover of it, each to be experienced differently.
