Past
Food Material: Adee Roberson and Essence Harden
Food Material is a series where artists and food practitioners share ingredients and material on their minds and in their lives, diving deep into their histories and meaning today. These conversations in the kitchen (and sometimes studio) also include friends and special guests, addressing how ingredients can take us from cooking-in-quarantine to questions of scarcity or accessibility, as well as the confluence of cooking and art-making.
Food Material premiered with artist Adee Roberson and curator Essence Harden, close friends who have also shared time in quarantine. From Adee’s front yard in Atwater Village, Los Angeles, the two talked recipes, food, legacy, and ancestry, and how the waltz between the itinerant roots of the African Diaspora manifests in Adee’s art practice.
