Where everybody knows your name, Gnaw explores the social organization of the kitchen and the fermentation of gender from the inside out. Set within Open Room, quori theodor creates an otherworldly diner that pushes our sense of edibility and recontextualizes the performativity of food.
 
Countertops as flooring, an evolving ferment library, a vending machine stocked with toothsome experiments, ingredients underfoot, and food mess lining the walls—Gnaw invites visitors to explore the limits of food, decaying a sense of normalcy around the customs of eating and their structural implications.
 
All are welcome to use the space: taste it, loiter in it, marinate in it, repose in it, lick it. Gnaw will additionally be activated through a series of performances, workshops, experiments, and communal meals that will be announced throughout the year.
The mouth is a room, come sit.
