Hello Phil-Litters! We bring some exciting news! We have been asked by members of the CPRLA to inform you about a Food Project that they will be carrying out! This is their message to you:
"We invite Warwick staff and students from across the university to help create a Warwick Dinner Party, modeled on artist Judy Chicago’s 1970s artwork The Dinner Party. Chicago used place settings around a dinner table to honour women in history. Our Dinner Party will be, perhaps unsurprisingly, about FOOD, but not just about the eating of food.
"We will create a dinner table with individually designed place settings that will honour, show or symbolise something important to our food cultures. The table can share memories, traditions, ideas, recipes, fantasies, problems, fashions, passions and goals for how food culture can evolve. The scope is wide. Though wonderful artistry may show up, there is no requirement for artistic talent. We hope participants will have fun designing a place setting. The table will be displayed in July on campus, with participants – if they wish to and if conditions allow – present to introduce their creations.
Please send a proposal outlining the goal for your place setting: what you hope to show, remember, imagine or symbolise with it. A very brief sketch or description (no more than 150 words) will suffice. Some funding is available for materials or foodstuffs, so please let us know if you might want access to such funding. Group proposals are very welcome. Send your proposal to Eileen John ([email protected]) and Sailee Khurjekar ([email protected]) by 5.00 pm on TUESDAY 1 JUNE."
