Concept

The Network Nomadic Architecture declares his participation in Love Difference Pasties with the “Pita: Transform Sweet” project. The hospitality and the cultural dialogue are two concept that appear from this project and contemporaneously set it.
Bases of our proposal is a sweet “pita” (a species of cake or tart cooked in different Greek places with different materials, depending on the Region, the age and the special circumstance) with ingredients referred of the recipes of the ancient Greek and the Ellen tradition, like the “melòpita” of Sifnos, sweet cooked in some holiday, like the Easter. We propose this sweet with shapes of abstract votive sculptures, made of paper, inspired at symbol of ancient hospitality and diversity divinity.
Through this involvement and our information of different community that exist in the most panoramic Region the group will visit them and will offer our sweet.
With this action we hope that our implication with the different community, gives the possibility to transform the sweet through their recipes and suggests, finally enlarging the concept of hospitality and exchange.
