“Documenting Food Is Culture IV” Publication’s Launch, At Bahrain National Museum
Bahrain Authority for Culture & Antiquities (BACA), invites everyone to join for the booklet launch of "Documenting Food is Culture IV” on Tuesday, 16 April 2019, at 7:00 pm at the Bahrain National Museum. Free admission
Bahrain Culture Authority’s event is an initiative aimed to document the exceptional annual experience of ‘ Food is Culture’, which was held in last January during the 45th edition of the Bahrain Fine Arts Exhibition.
Indeed, ‘Food is Culture” is a creative experimental project that aims to bridge together the mediums of art and food. In its fourth edition, the collaborations that took place between 11 artists from the culinary, visual arts and music fields in January 2019 now culminates with the launch of a publication and film documenting the process. The chefs, artists and musicians will be present an interactive panel discussion to share their collective experiences and impressions with the audience.
Worth to mention that the 4th edition of “ Food is Culture “ initiative, featured and gathered a group of chefs and artists, such as, Nabeela Al-Kayyer and Chef Herve Pronzato, artist Ali Mashhadi and Chef Salman Buhejji, Fashion Designer Reem BuQais and Chef Budoor Steele, Artist Areej Rajab and Chef Areej Matooq, and finally Musicians Ahmed AlQassim and Abdullah Haji along with Chef Junior Gomes.
The “Food is Culture” event aims to present another concept of food in a different context and atmosphere, addressing their message to the whole world in different languages and styles. Since its inception in 2016, “Food is Culture” event has tried to shed light on creative processes that take place when two individuals (from different creative disciplines) collaborate. Artists and chefs get together and work to produce a creative product; be it a painting, installation, video, cake, drink, all or something completely different discipline. This creative experience combines two forms of art, bringing together different schools of thought and talented chefs who try to come out with unordinary work of art.
