NOSE is a series of fragrant nights at KÖŞK, a daily, free program of events curated for your sense of smell. Listen to the smell of the last forest on earth. Follow the fragrant routes of spice migrations. Have a sound and scent bath. The NOSE is the olfactory center of SPIELART this year. Here, we follow the same topics as the rest of the festival, but with our noses. The sense of smell is the first one we use when we are born. Scents trigger emotions and memories directly, and have an impact on how we feel, how we relate to places and people. The scent is a cultural phenomenon. The way we articulate smells and create meanings around them is culturally and socially defined. The program of NOSE draws on the richness of recent sociological research on the way scents create osmologies – value systems attributed to smells. How is the smell involved in the mechanism of othering? What is the relationship between scent and power? How to render creation of scents more accessible? How easily are we manipulated by scents? Can we listen to the scents how we would listen to music? NOSE offers daily adventures for your olfactory system, inspired by Minna Salami’s concept of Sensuous Knowledge: “When something is sensuous, it affects not only your senses but your entire being – your mind, body and soul.” There will be performances, installations, concerts, workshops, lectures, activities for kids. Come with your family, your friends and your lovers. The bar is always open.
