Join O.M. France Viana for a night of social artistry and decadent desserts at the Ube Trade. Exchange a food memory for Filipino ube/purple yam ice cream and sweets. For this interactive project, Viana invites the audience to share their food memories in exchange for a dessert made of ube, also known as purple yam. The tuberous root vegetable is a naturaly, vivid purple color and is known within the Filipino and South East Asian countries as a main ingredient in cakes, pastries, and ice cream. The ICA Lounge will be transformed into a social site where guests engage in a ritualistic appreciation of food with the artist.
