Urban Eats united multi-disciplinary artists inviting them to explore the diversity of food throughout Melbourne in response to traditional, new and transformational waves of food culture. Created as a map of edible change and development, the exhibition presented works made in response to the rich tapestry of cultural diversity found in Melbourne, enticing viewers to participate in experiences born from ritual, celebration and the sharing of food. A basic human need, food and food culture unite us all. What we eat and how we eat it says much about our culture and social mores and the impact these spaces have on our wellbeing, routines and sense of place. The exhibition created a visual and immersive experience of inner urban food makers and producers that audiences were invited to dig into!
Artists included: Eddy Carroll, Samanta Bakker, Jessie DiBlasi (curator), Robert Gale, Alasdair MacKinnon, Kenny Pittock, Lucy Roleff, Chloe Smith, Pauline Tran + Stephanie Dix.
