Future Dining: Berlin Exhibition Imagines Dinner in 2101
The "2101 – Future Ceramics. Dining Culture of the Future" exhibition at Berlin's Kunstgewerbemuseum delves into the potential transformations of dining over the next 75 years. Featuring twelve innovative projects from students at the Berlin University of the Arts, the display is set against the backdrop of the museum's historic porcelain and faience collections. These creations envision future food sources such as algae and insects and suggest that tea preparation could evolve into a ritual aimed at fostering human connection. Opened on July 9, the exhibition will be available until February 28, 2027, and is currently highlighted by the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. It prompts visitors to consider what communal dining will signify in 2101, showcasing designs like sound-producing bowls and plates tailored for jelly-like foods.
