Now And Then
Project Type Food Design Experiment
Date 18 November, 2018
Location Ahmedabad
“Now & then” was a participatory performative installation that aimed to encourage collective reflection on the impact of our food choices on our lives and culture. The event was a response to the fast-paced lifestyle of our city that often leaves little time for us to connect with our cultural heritage. Participants were invited to come together to explore how the food we eat shapes us and what it says about our future. The event was a participatory installation, where attendees engaged in performances and interactive activities to reflect on the theme. The organisers believed that the best way to predict the future is to create it, and this event offered an opportunity to do just that.
The Artist’s Statement
In the context of the exhibition, the connection between the gut and the nervous system of the gut, also known as the enteric nervous system (ENS), has been used as a conceptual framework to create a more embodied and immersive experience in Badr El Jundi. By incorporating different stages of digestion and the digestive system as a metaphor responding directly to the space, the works in the exhibition encourage visitors to think critically about the complex processes that shape our social and political environments.
