Manuela Luterbacher is a multidisciplinary artist, curator, art producer and mediator. She works at the interface of different art disciplines and opens up the usual art categories by collaborating with other creative people. At the moment, she is exploring the fusion of culinary and performing arts. In her current projects, visitors are taken on a gustatory, visual and performative journey. The main focus is on creating moments of encounter through eating and tasting together. She questions what it means to be a host and looks for new ways to eat together. 

As a curator and producer, she likes to create new opportunities for encounters between art and other everyday life situations. By bringing art into other settings, she wants to make art accessible to everyone. Connecting people as an artistic act. Creating culture beyond the given boundaries and art categories.
