What We Leave Behind: Recipes, Memories & Making Vol. 1
A series of participatory textile workshops exploring food as a form of memory and inheritance.
Participants are invited to share a recipe, ingredient, cooking gesture or memory connected to someone who taught them how to cook. Through stitching, weaving, knotting and painting, these personal stories are translated into small textile fragments.
The fragments are then incorporated into the suspended installation. The workshops become spaces for conversation and exchange, with tea and coffee creating an informal communal setting around the act of making. The accumulated fragments will be taken by the artist and they will be assembled into the final artwork.
The workshops are not separate from the installation but they are the process through which the installation is made.
Bring us something you know by heart: a recipe, a cooking gesture, a memory, something someone taught you.
