At one long table in Arenbergstraat, Flatons brings Indian and Iraqi culinary traditions into conversation. The forthcoming interview will centre Faeiq Al-Mamoori and the question behind Peace on a Plate: can food bring together what elsewhere stands in opposition?
The event
The brunch opens Arenberg’s Out in the Streets festival on Saturday 19 September. Doors open at 11:00, the shared meal begins at 11:30, and the street programme continues from 13:30.
The conversation
Faeiq will be the central voice. The final conversation may also include artist Nico Dockx and Jeroen Van Vaerenbergh, whose food archaeology traces how Antwerp’s flavours have merged over centuries.
