NEIGHBOURHOOD FESTIVAL -
FOOTSCRAY COMMUNITY ARTS, 2022
A series of dinners as part of Footscray Community Arts’ Neighbourhood Contemporary Art Festival - Co-presented by Footscray Community Arts/The Substation - 11-27th November, 2022
Fluff Corp. collaborated with 3 guest artists from Footscray Community Art’s Neighbourhood Festival to present 3 different and unique clay-baked dining experiences. We worked with the guest artists who used their cultural backgrounds, artistic practice and favourite foods to inform the theme of their event design and menu. The project explores the foods of different cultures as well as the shared rituals surrounding the act of creating and sharing meals; a language of its own.

A dinner inspired by the influences and sounds of Ethiopia.
A musical feast, celebrated jazz pianist Girma Yifreshewa co-hosted and performed live whilst dishes from his home of Ethiopia were served with a Fluff Corp. twist. This dinner showcases the magic of art, storytelling, music, food and ceremony for a transformative sensory adventure at Footscray Community Arts.
