Event
Black Feast: Brown
A creation of Black narrative, an offering to Black lineage, Black Feast brings together guests and artists to share a vibrant and sensory four-course meal. Our dinners are entirely plant-based and prepared without use of gluten or cane sugar.
Our April Black Feast event will feature the acclaimed work of Erica Deeman. The four courses of the dinner are inspired by Erica's collection "Brown." Comprised of thirty-six archival pigment photographs of men from the African diaspora, "Brown" explores how traditions of classical portraiture, the mug shot, and physiognomy influence societal expectations based on appearance. Guests will gather together to share the meal at a communal table, with a mid-meal conversation with Erica Deeman.
This meal is created as a celebration, a dance, and an offering. This meal is created for you. This meal is BYOB. If you are a low-income POC that is interested in a sliding scale ticket, please email us at blackfeastdinner@gmail.com
