ConVerge: Foodie

In conjunction with the exhibition A Special Curatorial Project with Rirkrit Tiravanija: The Way Things Go, ConVerge is co-hosted by artist Michael Arcega and invites Bay Area artists Sita Bhaumik, Eliza Barrios, Taraneh Hemami, Xandra Ibarra, Kenneth Lo, Dorothy Santos, Thea Quiray Tagle, Alex Wang, Jova Vargas, Rafael Vieira, Andrew Wilson, Jenifer Wofford, and others to bring their best foodie selves and favorite meals to a communal gathering where the public can engage with foods, ideas, and residues that introduce the histories of post-colonial, diaspora communities. Admission to A Special Curatorial Project Rirkrit Tiravanija: The Way Things Go is free during ConVerge and uncovers narratives, reveals personal stories, and shares vignettes that lead to a larger understanding of migration in the production of material culture.

YBCA ConVerge is a free monthly public gathering featuring creative and generative art practices. ConVerge is where community and innovative multi- and interdisciplinary arts practices come together in our free and public spaces in a fluid, interactive, experimental format designed to engage audiences. YBCA's Grand Lobby and Front Door Gallery come alive during ConVerge events with social art, live music, and inspiring curated performances, as well as drinks prepared by YBCA mixologists. ConVerge is part of Third Thursdays in Yerba Buena.
