Recently the media portrayal of food has been damning; from breakdowns in global supply chains to more households experiencing food insecurity, the public perception of food is grim.

Don’t Play With Your Food invites you to take a seat at the table and rediscover the joy of food.

Artists have long used food as a stimulus for their work and to hold a mirror up to society. Creating meaning with the humble cabbage and transforming simple things such as bread and milk into timeless works of art. This exhibition sees a collection of artists, chefs and craftspeople share the gallery to celebrate how playful, gross and delicious food can be.

This summer, alongside the exhibition, we will host a series of supper clubs, workshops, a summer school and opportunities to break bread with the community.
