Milton Keynes Islamic Arts and Culture (MKIAC) is calling out for participants to take part in a community art project called ‘Stories on the Plate’, aimed to bring people together through the power of food.
Tayeb طيب is a pilot project aiming to empower sisterhood and friendship amongst members of diverse communities, especially refugee women, who went through isolation over the pandemic.
This community-oriented project pays attention to women's significant roles in refugee/migrant families, often overlooked and trivialised even though their power of friendship is fundamental for making a new home and resilient survival.
They are Inviting 12 participants based in Milton Keynes, giving a £20 Asda voucher to each participant (on completion of the project) and children are also welcome.
The dates are the 21st 22nd 28th and 29th of March 2022 taking place at several locations such as; MK College, Chaffron Way, and Melis Restaurant, Midsummer Blvd.
The commissioned artists Youngsook Choi and Nia Fekri will create an imaginative course meal menu that accommodates inherited recipes, associated memories, specific ingredients, distinctive sensualities, and motherland ecologies. The poetically written menu will be published into a storybook and shared with the audience of the Arts in the Park Festival in May 2022, as part of an art installation!
