Stirring away from conventional hospitality programs, Dexamenes presents “Traditional, Illegal”, a series of events exploring culinary gestures, knowledge, and practices that have quietly fallen out of use, or even become forbidden.
Through immersive experiences, moments where cooking and communal rituals become acts of cultural preservation, memory, and resistance are brought to life. Kitchens, courtyards, and repurposed spaces transform into stages for ancestral practices, where fire is reclaimed, bread is broken, and the past is lived anew – challenging notions of legality while celebrating care, continuity, and a profound sense of place.
