Finalized film by Fonica Magazine of our event - ‘All Life comes From an Egg’. ENJOY!!
Easter Food Event Success!!!
ArtyFarty Cooking aims to re-design the way we consume food in contemporary Western Culture. This event encompassed the whole eating experience using cultural influences along with emphasizing the strong link between food and feeling.
Focussing on the vast cultural influences seen at LS6 Café, a traditional Greek theme was prominent, with an abundance of Greek music and the exploration of traditional Easter rituals, but with a modern twist!
According to the Greek religious calendar, Easter is the most important festival of the Greeks, hence huge celebrations are marked to make the occasion more special. Friends and families come together to eat, drink, talk and dance. Traditionally eggs are dyed red (red is seen as the colour of life as well as a representation of the blood of Christ). But these important rituals have been forgotten in Western Culture today due to mass marketing and of course because of chocolate Easter eggs.
On arrival the visitors were presented with a palette incorporating modern chocolate eggs along with paint brushes and only RED food ingredients to represent Greek traditions and to evoke the common childhood memory of decorating Easter eggs. Visitors were then free to decorate and eat the eggs in whichever way they pleased using only the ingredients provided (the more playful the better).
This innovative eating experience used cultural influences to encourage celebration, evoke memories and enforce an enhanced involvement with food which is today not celebrated as it should be.
