Share your story

The Alimentarium is preparing a new section of its permanent exhibition dedicated to nutrition and the relationships we have with what we eat and drink. 

This exhibition focuses on real-life experiences – those of people who eat, cook, struggle, indulge, doubt, celebrate, pay attention… in short: everyone!

What we’re inviting you to do

Take part in a collaborative project by sending us an audio or a video (between 1 and 5 minutes) in which you talk about your relationship with food, in your own words and from whatever perspective you choose. 

There’s no need to perform and no need for staging: what we’re looking for is sincerity.
 

Here are a few ideas for topics you might choose to explore:  

• Growing, recovering and healing through food…
• Eating for performance: sport, work, studies, personal challenges…
• Pleasure and connection: traditions, memories, emotions, shared meals…
• Complex and challenging relationships with food and drink: excess, restrictions, compulsive eating, addictions…
• Diet-related conditions: diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular risks, gastrointestinal disorders…
• Allergies, intolerances, deficiencies: adjustments, constraints, daily vigilance…

Your testimony will join those of other participants to form an immersive installation at the heart of the Alimentarium’s new exhibition.

Why take part?

Because your testimony can:

• spark discussions;
• represent a reality that is rarely shown;
• give a voice or a face to issues that affect us all;
• help visitors better understand the many different ways in which food is experienced.

Who can take part?

Anyone who feels like sharing a piece of their story.
There are no ‘right answers’ and no expected script: just your voice, your style, your story.
