OASIS.bxl Session: Sensory Dinner by Dopamine Core

In September, OASIS.bxl will be hosting two parallel exhibitions: one by Japanese artist Yuko Nakaya, initiated by Arielle d’Hauterives Gallery, and another in collaboration with Brussels Design Week 2026.

To bring both together in a celebration, a sensory dinner will take place on 26 September. Chef, hunter-gatherer, mushroom enthusiast, pepper connoisseur, and anarchist fermenter Jules Lavergne, alongside floral scenographer Elléa Cartier - together Dopamine Core - will create an immersive ambiance and culinary experience rooted in local traditions, with Japanese accents in dialogue with the existing artistic installations.

With Jules’ culinary expertise and against the backdrop of both exhibitions merging together, the dinner shifts into a liminality deriving from the Japanese concept of Ma (lit. 'gap, space, pause') where each participant becomes an artist, taking part in the creation of the space while embracing the idea of being present.

Pricing:

1. Sensory Dinner - 60 EUR, excluding drinks.

1. Dinner paired with drinks - 60 + 40 EUR - several glasses of magical and chemical free beverages to enhance the experience.

*A drink menu will be available at the bar and during dinner.
