Guests, be ready to eat and drink traditional meals and local drinks. Social and cultural ties are enforced through food in an area that encompasses different national identities. This is a journey through tastes and smells that transcends boundaries and connects souls. This is a place composed of interconnected stories, dialogues that emerge around a table as the “supra” of these stories relates to its linguistic origin, the tablecloth. Each drawing, pattern and motif produced is inspired by these people’s sense of place to celebrate their unique stories and hospitality. The supra of stories tablecloth showcases the temporality of a multi-ethnic feast through lines of movement that connects both people and places.
