🌿 CosmoLocal Potluck: Food that Nourishes as a Cultural Bridge

Join Us! (bring a friend)

Food brings us together. Nourishing food is a bridge between "cosmo" to the "local". In this spirit we warmly invite you to our re-imagined potluck, for an evening of food, friendship and cultural exchange.

Open 18:00 onwards at Horizon Village & Resort, Doi Saket (transportation available, scroll down)

The experience

The CosmoLocal CNX Food that Nourishes residency will curate a small exhibit on

the "forgotten plants of Northern Thailand", sharing what they learned from their

September-long co-living & learning journey into Chiang Mai's local food system. Hosted at Horizon Village, we tap into the spaciousness Doi Saket offers after a busy week of work, workshops and events.

You will be seated at a traditional Lanna style table, part of a curated experience designed to get you more connected to food, and the new friends you'll be seated with at dinner (families with children will be seated together)

PROGRAMME

6:00pm Check-in and explore the exhibit

7:00pm Screening Food that Nourishes short film

7:10pm Dinner: seated with 4 "cosmo" and "local" guests*

Who you will meet

The potluck will be a watering hole for residents, participants and partners from

the ongoing September CosmoLocal CNX pop-up village, as well as the many local

friends and communities who call Chiang Mai home.

How to join

In potluck style, the price of admission is food. If you can't bring food, we ask

for a small donation to a local homeless shelter instead. Everyone must register on this link.

WHAT TO BRING

A dish that holds cultural meaning for you. It could be from Thailand, from your

home country, or from anywhere that feels local to you.

Potlucks traditionally mean home cooking, but this is not a traditional potluck.

If you don't have access to a kitchen, bring food from a restaurant.

Think of the following as an "as best you can" protocol rather than a set of rules:

• A family-run restaurant

• One that values locally and organically grown food

• Environmentally friendly packaging

• Small portions, enough for 3 to 4 people

Chiang Mai is full of places that fit this description. If you'd like somewhere to

start, we've put together a list:

WHAT TO AVOID

• Food that won't fit into a small Pinto (bento) box (a whole fish, for example)

• Your own containers or large platters, which are hard for us to return to you

How It Works 😊 VERY SIMPLE 😊

1 > 🛎️ Check-in at the entrance

2 > 🔢 Receive your table number

3 > 🍽️ Transfer your food into PINTO ( food tower like in picture above 😊 ) at the prep area

4 > 🎉🥳🎊 Enjoy the evening with new friends! 🎉🥳🎊

Vegetarian and vegan diners will be grouped together.
