Food Porn Symposium

22 april 2026 13:00 – 19:00 Måltidens Hus, Grythyttan Öppet för alla

Food Porn Symposium is an interdisciplinary event that explores contemporary food desires at the intersection of aesthetics, digital culture, and practice.

On the occasion of the publication of the world’s first monograph on food porn, the symposium brings together leading academics, food stylists, chefs, and food communicators for lectures, panel discussions, performances, and hands-on workshops. Over an afternoon and evening, the symposium examines how visual food aesthetics shape taste, desire, and future food cultures.
