Join artist Issam Kourbaj for a workshop to explore the practice of bread-making. We will open a reflective and discursive space to knead and fold in embodied memories and inherited tales around bread. The Arabic word for bread is ‘Aish’, which also means ‘life’ and ‘to live’. These will be key themes that we explore in this workshop.
During the session participants will:
Enjoy an introduction to Issam Kourbaj: Urgent Archive, the current exhibition at Kettle’s Yard with artist Issam Kourbaj
Create a bread stamp with artist Issam Kourbaj
Use your stamp to emboss and make flat-breads with local baker Alison McTaggart of BreadonaBike
Share your own bread recipes and their significance with other participants
Come together to reflect on the memories and tales embedded in bread
Delivered in partnership with the Syrian Arts & Cultural Festival.
Allergen advice: This workshop will be using wholegrain flours and therefore not suitable for people with gluten allergies.
