TISH Festival: About eating – Tel Aviv and Istanbul city markets. Immersive culinary experience

Istanbul and Tel Aviv are two extremely dynamic realities that have been permanently reconstructed by the ongoing influx of newcomers such as migrants, refugees, or visitors. The people leave significant marks in oral and written history, collective memory, landscape, and cuisine. Those touches are written down on the tissue of the city and define the place’s identity. Marketplaces are the best spots to understand and recognize it.

  • 15 October (Saturday), 7.00 PM-9.00 PM – meeting in English
  • Tickets: 80 PLN, SOLD OUT
  • Venue: Fania’s Culinary Lab, POLIN Museum
  • Hosts: Kornelia Binicewicz and Italo Rondinella – the authors of "Pazar // Shuk"

Come explore the centers of these two worlds: a pazar of Istanbul and a shuk of Tel Aviv during this event. You’ll enjoy a rich tasting experience featuring the many typical bazaar dishes from these cities. The event includes cooking workshops, storytelling about the markets and their characters – merchants, customers, and chefs. Plus you’ll get to enjoy the foods that are prepared.
