This exhibition is now closed- but I managed to visit 2 days before it did. Contrary to the title this was not a gourmet trip but covered many of the aspects of how /what we eat and in particular recycling, re-use and new uses for by products. This was the most predictable (and conventionally ceramic) one. This is a terracotta home composting system for households in Calcutta, a city where food waste (along with everything else) tends to just accumulate on the streets. .There were some more surprising items, such as these dining essentials all made from dung- together with a pair of dung toilets. The cups are made with compressed coffee grounds but there were all sorts of other items and textiles made from by-products or food waste. It was a stimulating and enjoyable visit but it did not make me look at my project in any new way.
