Genesis 1:29 Revisited

Join Malena Grigoli for an evening inspired by the menu of Genesis 1:29, the beloved 1970s vegetarian restaurant once housed in the building now occupied by The Sculpture Center. Guests will share wine, soup, and bread made from ambient yeast while reflecting on the layers of labor, care, and daily life embedded within the space over time. Through food and conversation, the event offers a shared experience connecting memory, place, and the histories held within the building.

About Malena Grigoli:

Malena Grigoli is an artist based in Cleveland, Ohio using writing, choreography, and image-making to articulate elements of her primary media: lived time, life cycles, interpersonal negotiations, and maintenance. Beginning in 2024, she directed the year-long project 9413 Sophia Ave, a choreographed deconstruction and performed maintenance of the built environment supported by the City of Cleveland’s Transformative Arts Fund. Grigoli currently serves on the board of SHED Projects in Cleveland, Ohio.
