Kokeboka Sletteløkka #1: Nora’s Bakerkurs.

Kokeboka Sletteløkka #4: Palestinsk Mat Kveld.

These zines were part of an artistic project that explores food culture, memory, and community through cooking and conversation. They are an ogoing series of small recipe books that gathers stories, recipes, and impressions from various food-related volunteer activities at the Sletteløkka Grendehus (community house) in north Oslo. The aim is for these gathered recipes and stories to gradually become a collectively-made cookbook.

A pilot podcast episode Radio-Sletteløkka was also made based on the Palestinsk Mat Kveld recording.

A RECIPE FOR SENSORY AWARENESS -
WORKSHOP IN COLLABORATION WITH
CERAMIC ARTIST SARA ZAMECZNIK

workshop during the ‘Bli Noe Annet’ exhibition,
June 2025, Galleri Seilduken, KHiO.
08.06.2025 13:00-15:00.

As part of her investigations into the knowledge inherited by
and passed on to non-human, natural and man-made bodies,
Liselli’s practice overlaps with Sara’s explorations into clay as a living body with memories, stories and knowledge that are transferable to the ceramic artist, and vice-versa.

Workshop participants were invited to experience Sara’s embodied practice by paying attention to their senses while working with clay. Through a series of interactive rounds with clay, the participants are invited to describe and share their awareness to collectively reflect on how we humans perceive information via our senses. Guided by Sara, participants will explore various techniques to consider other forms of communication with their surroundings.

One clay piece was chosen to be fired by the participants. Each round of discussion were recorded and transcribed into a small recipe book to be sent to the participants subsequently. In this way, participants retained a fired piece and a copy of their thoughts for future inspiration and guiding on how to apply this sensing in daily life.

WORKSHOPS

Over the last few years, workshops have become my method towards collective explorations. I see the workshop as a space for dialogue and flat-structured, mutual exchanges of knowledge. My ritual-workshops method is specific to certain constellations of people, in relation to the project I am doing. These workshops recur in time and have a collective action at their core, to ground all of us workshop participants into awareness of the current surroundings.
