The event illustrates how art, which has been considered a creative expression of human abilities since ancient times, can be integrated into everyday life. The roots of the term “art” come from Middle Low German and the Proto-Germanic root *kunstiz, which is associated with “knowledge” and “skill”. This term has evolved over the centuries and now encompasses a wide range of aesthetic expressions, including visual and performing arts, music and literature, such as Wikipedia describes.
The concept of art itself is not static; it is constantly being redefined by social changes and discourses. Art is often understood as the opposite of nature and includes creative processes that are based on knowledge and intuition. Artworks that emerge from this process reflect not only technical skills, but also cultural values and zeitgeist Wiktionary explained.
The plans for the cultural buffet bring to mind the importance of art and its diverse connections to culture and cuisine. The event promises to be a space for exchange and inspiration where participants can not only enjoy but also learn.
