Catalyst Arts Gallery, Belfast, 2022 (curated by Manuela Moser)
I designed a dining structure which aimed to facilitate communal eating, sharing and conversation as part of the exhibition Of Course. The exhibition was accompanied by a dinner party that unfolded over a month in a series of courses.
The starter course, Stone Soup, was an event developed collaboratively by Thomas Wells and I. ‘Stone Soup’ comes from a folktale in which hungry strangers convince a village to each give them a small amount of their food in order to make a meal that everyone can share.
Participants were invited to bring along ingredients that were added to the soup, cooked in the gallery and enjoyed together.
