Kissing dinners

Concept and curation by Carolyn Defrin & Abigail Boucher
with special guest hosts and artists
2015-ongoing

​

Kissing Dinners bring strangers together to share a meal and meaningful stories that begin with a kiss. Through curated creative prompts, the evening entails riotous laughter and deeply moving emotional storytelling as people exchange stories of familial, plutonic and romantic love. 

​

With permission, kissing stories are audio recorded during the evening and added to the KISSING LIBRARY.

​

Dinners have been held in London, Paris, Chicago, and Reykivik.

Listen to excerpts from kissing dinners

At our most recent Kissing Dinner, we partnered with chef, 'Steal a Meal' and economist, Diwakar Kishore to co-host our night at Snug Café in London. Visual artist Julia Miranda captured the evening's stories and atmosphere in beautiful painted illustrations. 

 

Kissing dinners are part Kissing Project, a multimedia platform  

celebrating our shared humanity and our exquisite differences,

one kiss at a time.
