Design-research of internalised cultural food systems / externalised culinary gestures, within a context of food practice as foundation for community bonds, culminating in high street interventions in East London.
The high street and its facades become the object of urban repair and site of culinary intervention. Repairing to reconnect internalised cultural food systems with externalised culinary gestures, within a context of food practice as foundation for community bonds, high street interventions on Commercial Road seek to implement a series of dynamic installations impacting public + culinary space in the city. The system of repair aims to re-exploit the high street as a key socio-cultural infrastructure in which the local Bangladeshi community roots its physical and cultural identity.
