Dispensa

 
 

dispensa

Our dispensa is more than just a pantry full of products; it's a repository of stories, people, places, values, traditions, and ideas. 

Some of the items in the pantry are personal favorites of the team, while others were brought to the studio by collaborators, friends, guests, or even producers themselves. 

Our selection process goes beyond taste and quality, seeking out companies that resonate with our philosophy and values. We prioritize products crafted with environmentally and socially conscious methods, ensuring respect for both the environment and the people involved.

Guests in the studio can then try our selection, listen to the stories, and learn about the producers. 

Through our dispensa, we aim to share with the entire community the opportunity to discover these stories. 

 
 

Habibi Tahini

THE POWER OF FOOD

 
 

Traveling helps us discover new products, which we often bring back home and to the studio. Sometimes, friends or colleagues from abroad generously share their unique finds with us.

 
 

There is nothing quite as exciting as trying new foods and exploring different cuisines, flavors and aromas. Our dispensa is stocked with a variety of ingredients that go beyond the typical Italian kitchen.

This is the story, for example, of Habibi tahini. This sesame paste was a thoughtful gift from Grace Gloria Denis, a Belgian artist who blends agricultural inquiry and art. In her works and installations, food serves as both a medium and a innovative tool to teach and explore.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Basta Theatre wants to create a dialogue on artistic, cultural, social and political issues. They focus on research, cost-efficient production, collection, and utilizing community resources to inspire and engage.

 
 

Habibi Tahini is made in Jerusalem using traditional cold-press methods with ancient stone mills. It's overseen by Hussam Ghosheh and Maram Nazzal, who mobilizes resources for Basta Land, an independent artistic collective founded in Jerusalem in 2015. This project merges together land cultivation, art, and activism as agents of social change.

Their efforts highlight how agricultural practices can drive positive transformations and foster collective resilience against ongoing challenges.
