Call for Creative Projects during Isolation - Warwick Food GRP Art and More Gallery

We are such social creatures that isolation makes time pass very slowly, but creative projects can bring us together in so many ways from virtual cook-alongs to nightly story-tellings.

The Food GRP invites you to share your food-related creative ideas and projects on the website to help people smile together. Your arts-based project can relate to food in any way: it can explore food production, distribution, preparation or waste, it can share recipes or meals, or it can offer to serenade someone’s special meal. You can submit a text or image already completed or you can invite others to collaborate on a task together. The possibilities are limitless, but here are just a few suggestions:

  • Poem or short story
  • Drawings, paintings or photographs
  • Newly composed or reworked songs
  • Recipes from kitchens with few supplies
  • Videos of cooking a special dish
  • Long-distance collaborations on songs or skit
  • Sketch map of your vegetable garden or (from memory or image) your local green grocer or butcher or a public footpath though the agricultural landscape
  • Time-lapse videos of gardens coming to life or stop-animation videos around food
  • And the list goes on…
If you would like to contribute, please send in a finished piece and an idea for a virtual collaborative project to Claire Barratt, foodgrpteam@warwick.ac.uk and it will appear on the Food GRP website.

If you’d like to discuss the idea first, please contact the co-chairs of the Food Cultures theme: Rebecca Earle, rebecca.earle@warwick.ac.uk or Susan Haedicke, s.haedicke@warwick.ac.uk.
