The project title, ‘Have You Eaten Yet?’ is equivalent to ‘how are you?” in many Asian cultures. This question carries a tangible, direct sense of care towards ones’ livelihood & health, which often leads to impromptu food sharing. In line with these ethics of reciprocal care & hospitality, the project will create an affectionate healing space for the local community during Deptford X Festival.
The opening performance evening will take the form of a block party, where artists will perform between the space & street outside, with all material acts accumulated forming the exhibition: Dandelions, mandarin skins, sticky floors & incense ash scattered throughout the installation works in the exhibition lasting 10 days... The trace acts of bodies come & gone, activated & further transformed by new visitors responding to the prompts left by the works.
Have you eaten yet? is presented by artists & curators -- Jessie Jing, Monica Tolia & Youngsook Choi -- from the Deptford X Peer Network, an evolving group of Black and POC artists and arts organisers affiliated with Deptford X.
