ABOUT

‘Otark is a kitchen-collective founded in 2009 by Hadas Cna’ani and Charlotte Koopman,
currently rooted in Het Bos, Antwerp, Belgium. 
Besides a weekly Sunday Breakfast, Otark cooks in various contexts and with varying line-ups

responding to film, sound, words, the weather.

Otark has a strong preference for

Handwork / Close-ups (the near) / Off-beat (the far-out) /
Slow-mo / Slapstick / Roots and Leaves. 
Otark works according to the vershki i koreshki principle:
foundation versus the way the wind blows, home-cooking on the move, 
and- as cooks do- works within a framework of a timeline,
rhythm, repetition, seasonality and impermanence.
Kitchen: Charlotte Koopman, Hadas Cna’ani, Miljan Vukicevic,
Gitte Lebruyn, Ahmad Bajouk, Liane Scharff, Jelle Spruyt, Bei Wen Tan
Sunday Mornings: Mustafa Aljabali, Nourdin Tanouti
