In October, with your help, the gallery space will be turned into a free vegetarian cafe & platform for the sharing of food, ideas, seeds and produce, run by artists and backed by the resources of community food initiatives, gardeners and allotment communities.
Soup & bread is a universal dish, simple and sustaining; sharing in eating, a universal activity. Made from locally sourced, fresh and seasonal vegetables, artists will cook soup (and more besides!) and bake bread in the gallery. The working kitchen will be fully open to the dining facilities; cooking as a kind of performance.
The vegetable ingredients will be gathered through gardeners’ donations. The meals will be initiated and formed by what’s brought to the kitchen from the garden and the recipes from the ideas of the artists cooking and visitors to the gallery.
Coinciding with Document 5 www.docfilmfest.org.uk, the bustling international human rights film festival, the space will become a busy meeting space.
We need you to get involved by: coming along, bringing your ideas, offering your knowledge to share with others, pledging to bring along your excess produce, lending equipment and materials, cooking a wholesome meal or baking fresh bread.
