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.

Dinner 3: Hoang Tran Nguyen.
A celebration of Vietnamese food, culture and performance.
Nguyen’s practice centers on the importance of safeguarding Vietnamese language and community in the inner-west. Community is the driver behind this event with performances, hands on food experiences and a spread of Vietnamese inspired dishes served on banana and lotus leaves, the 3 course dinner included a ritual burning for good luck and karaoke.
