Supperclub Mapleton - Dining Experience
The Supperclub Mapleton Dining Experience is a truly down-to-earth collaboration between exceptional chefs, dedicated regenerative farmers and artists – hosted on veranda tables, overlooking rolling countryside, at Mapleton Public House.
So, here’s the agenda: following your optional Catching a Whiff tour of The Falls Farm (supplier of Mapleton Public House, just down the road), you are invited to a picturesque hinterland pub for an olfactory Sunday lunch with Cameron Mathews (chef) and Lowana Davies (artist) – a fully-curated, unique art and food experience, guiding the journey from farm to plate.
Discover a dialogue between the processes of regenerative farming, art making, and food design – partaking in feasting and food conversations aplenty. With a full stomach, the long table supper will be followed by a performance from Gabriella Cohen. The perfect end to a belly-full day of art, food, and new experiences.

Lowana Davies
Lowana’s work examines how climate change reshapes sensory experiences, particularly the smellscape – the olfactory essence of landscapes. She explores how these shifts impact place, memory, and multispecies relationships through smellwalking, odour-wheels, fragrance-making, collaboration, writing, and performance.
As an olfactory, performance, and installation artist, her research-driven, site-responsive practice engages multispecies justice through intersectional feminist, queer, and pro-Indigenous perspectives. Her work has been presented in Australia, New Zealand, China, and Japan. She holds a Bachelor of Digital Media (QCA, Griffith University) and a Master of Philosophy in Creative Practice (QUT). She has created works for Festival 2018, HOTA, and Splendour in the Grass.
