Join us for an Exclusive Artist Talk and Swell Plate Tasting at OMA where visual and culinary arts combine for a uniquely special experience!
To begin, renowned artist Francisco Eme will personally guide you through his exhibition , blending ancestral knowledge, science, and contemporary media to invite a slower, reverent reconnection with animals, urban ecology, and the spiritual forces of nature within and beyond the city. You will hear the impactful stories behind his stunning works and see the pieces on display in a new light.
Then it’s on to the tasting, where you will meet 24Suns Co-Founder and Chef Nicholas Webber to enjoy a sample of the Swell Plates dish inspired by Francisco’s exhibition that will deepen your connection to the themes uncovered in his work. The tasting pairs smoked pork rib with local wahoo shaped into a T-bone form. A fermented fennel “souherb” made from foraged coastal herbs ties the elements together, creating a reflection on balance, ecology, and Oceanside’s natural landscape.
