The collective groundtable, comprising the artists Gift Lalicha Lalitsasivimol and Kitman Pik Chee Yeung, invites you to an interactive performance exploring food, memory and belonging. Together, they explore how culinary knowledge is passed on across borders and is linked to issues of migration and identity. Through questions about ingredients, recipes and personal memories, the performance encourages reflection on taste, origin and shared experiences. Drawing on the participants’ reactions and stories, groundtable creates a bespoke snack. In this way, food becomes a tangible expression of care, empathy and mutual understanding.

PARTICIPANTS

groundtable 

groundtable is a collective that investigates the idea of a universal food identity and the socio-anthropological dimensions of culinary heritage and migration. We explore the exchange of familiar and unfamiliar ingredients, recipes, histories, fictions, and imaginations. Using participatory methods like workshops and recipe sharing, we collaborate with local and international communities. groundtable emerged in 2024 in Weimar, Germany, as the converging point of two artists: Gift, born and raised in Bangkok, and Kit, born in Hong Kong and raised in Perth, Australia.

Gift Lalicha Lalitsasivimol (b. 1997, Bangkok)

With a background in interior architecture, Gift bridges research-based approaches and curatorial practices, activating audiences through participatory methods and spatial narratives.

Kitman Pik Chee Yeung (b. 1999, Hong Kong)

An interdisciplinary artist with a background in neuroscience, Kit explores questions of identity through public interventions and participatory projects, often situated within migrant contexts.

Hải Nam Nguyễn (Curation)

Hải Nam Nguyễn is a Vietnamese independent curator and researcher working between Germany and Vietnam. His practice engages with Southeast Asian art, the history of former East Germany and its contract workers, and the solidarity movements among the socialist “brother countries” of the former GDR. In 2019, he was awarded the Curator Scholarship by the Kulturstiftung des Freistaates Sachsen. Nguyễn has curated exhibitions and contributed to research projects at institutions including the Museum for Contemporary Art Leipzig (GfZK), Haus der Kulturen der Welt Berlin, Schwules Museum Berlin, RMIT University Vietnam, and the University of Erfurt. He is currently guest curator at the Museum für Asiatische Kunst in Humboldt Forum.

Minh Duc Pham (Curation)

Pham, Minh Duc is a Berlin-based artist whose practice emerges from artistic research on labour migration, memory and body politics. Through sculpture, installation and performance, he examines how social norms and regimes of care and control materialise in objects, textiles, and everyday gestures. Floral motifs, industrial references and fragile display structures recur as carriers of ambivalence between tenderness and resistance, preservation and erasure in which shared histories can be re-read and renegotiated. His work has been shown at Haus der Kulturen der Welt Berlin, Kunsthalle Osnabrück, the Museum Utopie und Alltag Eisenhüttenstadt and the Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig.
