G̾a̾s̾t̾r̾o̾f̾a̾z̾a̾ is an unconventional gathering of artists, food practitioners, and residents
of the MeetFactory Food Studio. Conceived as a symposium, it serves as a platform for exploring the intersection of cooking as an artistic practice and food-related research. However, what begins as an exchange of ideas and culinary approaches soon mutates into a one-of-a-kind, no-holds-barred culinary competition.

However, what begins as an exchange of ideas and culinary approaches soon mutates into a one-of-a-kind, no-holds-barred culinary competition.
Blending the chaos of a twisted supper club, the tension of reality TV, and the energy of summer camp vibes, the event brings together food, art, performance, and a generous dose of sass into one playful, unpredictable pot. Participants cook, eat, share inspirations, discuss, eat some more—and ultimately judge each other as they compete for the ultimate title.
The result? A reality TV show, co-directed by Horacy Muszyński and Julia Dorobińska,
with celebrated curators Tomek Pawłowski and Piotr Sikora as its charismatic hosts.

In Polish, G̾a̾s̾t̾r̾o̾f̾a̾z̾a̾ refers to munchies—that insatiable craving for a snack, often triggered
by an altered state of mind. But what if we flipped the logic? What if, instead of hunger driving consumption, eating itself sparked a deeper appetite—for more flavors, more experiences, and ultimately, a greater sense of transformation?
