The Digest is a new format of Pickle Bar with a reading room and scenography by the artist collective Slavs and Tatars bringing together the unlikely bedfellows of fermentation and books. Within the Slavic equivalent of an aperitivo bar, where instead of cheese and wine, different fermented juices and bites are served, Pickle Bar extends its reading list for the first time in a physical space at Memphis Kunstraum.
Opening: THU September 5, 2024, 19:00 – 23:00.
Launched in 2020 by Slavs and Tatars and curators Patricia Couvet and Anastasia Marukhina, Pickle Bar is a non-profit platform for research, performance and discursive formats. Dedicated to an unlikely form of knowledge production—one where hospitality and discourse are inseparable—Pickle Bar addresses items of urgency, through deep dives into often-overlooked areas of study in oral and cultural histories, material culture, language and gender studies, focusing on the region of Eurasia.
