This 5-course Dinner experience is a collaboration between chef and culinary activist Lelani Lewis, spoken word artist Rachel Rumai Diaz, and artist Suzanne Bernhardt.

Code Noir will take you on a culinary journey to get a better understanding of the cultural and colonial legacy of global trade routes, and its effects on Caribbean cuisine and culture. Code Noir was the name of a 17th Century decree restricting the freedom of the enslaved people in the French Colonies of the New World. At Mediamatic, Code Noir is turned into an immersive food experience that will show its guests how the worldwide exchange of goods has influenced current-day dishes – for the better or worse.

Join us to explore the chronology of Caribbean Cuisine via four significant epochs, from indigenous cassava to Indian chana.

Neo Futurist Dinners

Code Noir is part of the Neo Futurist Dinner series, in which Mediamatic invites a number of artists and chefs to present their vision on the food of the future. The dinners allow us to question the ways in which food, art, science and politics intertwine and to rediscover the human basic needs.
