STARTERS

I.    All dietary requirements met: We want to promote inclusivity, champion living artists and activate those underappreciated.

II.    From Plant to Plate: Through listening and care, we can build and grow.

III.    Too good to go: We will not exploit each other or those we work with, instead we promise to lend a helping hand to all our collaborators.

IV.    No deceit on the spoon: we will put trust in all our projects and ask for the same in return.

V.    Happy Meal: To create fair and safe spaces for as many as possible.

VI.    Everyday value: To always value one another, and mutually respectful relationships.

VII.    Happy Hour: Working with people we can go to the pub with.

MAINS

I.    Serving up indiscriminate culture: we will never be restricted to barriers of race, class, gender.

II.    Breaking bread: You drink, eat and ravish yourself at the theatre and cinema, so why not at an exhibition??

III.    All you can eat: Make art fun, engaging, approachable and as memorable as your favourite meal.

IV.    Service Charge: why can’t being a creative be your full time employment?

V.    Can we see the chef? All projects should be mutually beneficial and all participants and workers credited regardless of their role.

DESSERT

I.    Five-a-day: usher in a new era where art is a key worker.

II.    Dessert-Island-Dinner: curating and programming recognisable events/exhibitions.

III.    Queue at the bar: Staying analogue in a world increasingly digital.

IV.    Please come again: starting relationships that extend beyond a single project.

V.    Double booked? Double programming – Straddling sites. To recognise and address matters of urgency within our locales and the wider world.

VI.Michelin Stars what? Redefining notions of success – against the fast paced conveyer belt of the neoliberal economy.

OUR DAHLIA ALLOWANCE

The dahlia has been associated with the slaughter of women in popular culture since the infamous β€˜BlackDahlia’ case of the 1940s, glamourised in Hollywood. Loaded with this treacherous symbolism, it mirrors capitalism’s violence against nature and the earth; we want to reclaim the dahlia and its august seasonality, using it as a tool of re-connection.Β 

We must bring the natural world into our communities, respect the seasons, share, appreciate and allow nature to take over our industries- leading us forward. Remove the baggage, remove the stereotypes and facilitate Our Dahlia Allowance of nature. 

Be open to those around you. Entangle them within your re-wilding. Surpass the allowance.

Working with The Flower Project, we share the same values of sustainability and eco-friendly practice. Exhibiting the work of Enya Lachman-Curl and Ramona Zoladek in a multi-sensorial living shop, surrounded by flowers and plants, we are denying the deadened white wall aesthetic of the traditional gallery space to reveal an uncanny experience of art where you may least expect it.
