Events 2025

Coming soon in 2026.... 1m2

Very honoured that Anthology for Fruits and Vegetables (the six stir fry version) will be a part of Alserkal's What the Food Festival, in Dubai on October 25 & 26, 2025.

The work will be the sole video artwork installation screening in the Yard at Alserkal for the duration of the event. The piece was specially adapted, by me, to fit the dimensions of the space and I am so thrilled for everyone to see the results. The multiple images and repeating textures are hypnotic.

What The Food by Alserkal is a leading cultural platform exploring the future of food – connecting a community of chefs, thinkers, farmers, artists, and innovators through critical conversations, curated experiences, and collaborative learning, with an aim to interrogate the forces shaping tomorrow’s food systems.

Disrupting the Table curatorial lens moves across scales—from the intimate to the infrastructural—and brings together voices that challenge hierarchy, celebrate emerging practices, and experiment with new formats for thinking, making, and sharing. We embrace contradiction and complexity. We value critique as much as joy. We honour tradition without being bound by it. And above all, we treat food as a medium of cultural, environmental, and creative urgency. This is a festival for those who are not only working with food—but working through it.

This edition of the festival takes a clear stance: we are not here to preserve the status quo. We are here to ask harder questions — about who holds knowledge, what defines innovation, and how food can respond to a rapidly shifting world. Food is no longer just about taste or trend. It is about systems, supply, storytelling, and survival.

Disrupting the Table - What The Food 2025 is a space to rethink the systems, values, and assumptions that underpin how we eat, cook, and connect through food. I am very proud that the work has been selected to be a part of this important festival.

Anthology for Fruits and Vegetables is part LABOCINE's FRUITOPIA screening; a sensorial dive into the strange science and cinema of fruit. In this curated selection of films, the fruit becomes a prism—splitting into themes of innocence and decay, labor and leisure, climate and colonialism. The films stretch beyond the literal, exploring how fruit seduces, stains, and seeds stories across cultures.

Check out what's growing on, in LABOCINE's very special ETHNOBOTANICA.

Besides the film See Weeds you'll find a unique and diverse digital/analog herbaria of over 100 films exploring how plants root us in memory, shape the present, and branch into the unknown. The ETHNOBOTANIC program explores botany through both science and story, inviting the viewer to contemplate the ways in which plants shape human experience — grounded in memory, blossoming in the present, and branching into the unknown.

LABOCINE is a hybrid art+science+film platform that merges science, film, and culture — part research journal, part streaming space, and part collaborative hub.
