Adult Bread and Art Workshop – Rising, Together

About

We will open a reflective and discursive space to knead and fold in embodied memories and inherited tales around bread. The Arabic word for bread is ‘Aish’, which also means ‘life’ and ‘to live’. These will be key themes that we explore in this workshop.

During the session participants will:

Enjoy an introduction to Issam Kourbaj: Urgent Archive, the current exhibition at Kettle’s Yard with artist Issam Kourbaj Create a bread stamp with artist Issam Kourbaj Use your stamp to emboss and make flat-breads with local baker Alison McTaggart of BreadonaBike Share your own bread recipes and their significance with other participants Come together to reflect on the memories and tales embedded in bread

Delivered in partnership with the Syrian Arts & Cultural Festival.
