Following the curatorial tour of *Metabolic Loop*, Onsite Gallery is hosting a conversation with artists Alyssa Alikpala and Maria Simmons on April 11th. This isn't just a standard artist talk; it’s an immersive experience that explores metabolism, ritual, and memory.

What to Expect The artists will be in conversation with guest curators Gizem Candan and Steffi Ng Sin Tung. The discussion will be followed by a unique tasting experience: Maria Simmons will share her edible fermentations, and there will be a tactile table featuring material samples from Alyssa Alikpala. It’s a rare chance to engage with art through taste and touch.

Practical Info The event runs from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM at Onsite Gallery (199 Richmond Street West). It’s a great follow-up to the curatorial tour the day before, or a standalone event for anyone interested in the intersection of art, food, and material culture. The gallery is easily accessible and located in a vibrant part of the city.
