Meet us at the table for an immersive dining experience. Multidisciplinary artists, Jeauneil Baptiste and Justine Youssef are your hosts, serving heart through food and artful storytelling.
What is the purpose of gathering but to fill the mind, heart and stomach? On the menu are dishes from the curated artists’ cultural backgrounds, attached to an experience or memory of home.
Introducing your hosts:
Brought to you by Afro Sistahs sub-collective; Chidiebube Uba, Mumbi Hinga & Safia Amadou have curated an evening to explore gathering as a living practice. In an era where we have become accustomed to individuality and isolation, pulling on our learned tradition of coming together is important now more than ever. Each coming from cultures where the sharing of food and stories are vital when gathering, the collective seeks to explore these generational practices through an immersive dining performance. They are rejoined by artists, Jeauneil Baptiste, and Justine Youssef.
