TUJU PESQUISA
TUJU Research and Creativity Center
RESEARCH
We believe that cooking and gastronomy are much more than daily practices; they represent spheres of culture where people develop their sensitivity to the things of the world and to the social bonds they build around them. More than dedication, it is necessary to deal with passion.
And it is with this purpose that TUJU Pesquisa was born: an interdisciplinary space where tradition and innovation meet to rethink food in all its dimensions – cultural, historical, sensory and practical.
EXPERIENCES
We offer a series of activities with the aim of making food knowledge accessible and strengthening the connection between local producers, chefs, academics, artists, sociologists, anthropologists and food lovers.
Our activities are non-profit and as part of our commitment to inclusion and democratization of knowledge, TUJU Pesquisa has a policy of conscious values, allowing participants to choose the registration fee according to their financial conditions, with ideal and minimum prices and full scholarships.
TUJU PESQUISA RADIO
A podcast that mixes entertainment, information and food culture, exploring the creative universe of Tuju Pesquisa.
Here, food is the starting point for exploring stories, identities and transformations. In each episode, we invite chefs, researchers, hospitality professionals and culinary enthusiasts to talk about food and culture.
Flavors that tell memories, traditions that endure and innovations that shape the future of food. Let’s discuss the challenges of the present without losing sight of what feeds us today – and what we want for tomorrow. A production by Tímpano Audio Design.
REFAZENDA
São Paulo Seasonality in Four Movements
A guide to seasonality in the state of São Paulo, produced by Tuju Pesquisa, with texts by Katherina Cordás and photographs by Rubens Kato and Katherina Cordás.
An empirical and sensitive view of seasonality, built from our experience, exchanges and the cycles of the land. More than following patterns, we seek to listen to the timing of the ingredients and walk side by side with those who cultivate, harvest and transform them.
