Bakudapan Food Study Group

Bakudapan Food Study Group is a collective of eight female artists who got together with the aim of discussing aspects of food politics.

They consider food not only something that people fill their stomachs with but as a possible tool for discussing a wide range of topics, including political, social, ecological, philosophical, cultural and gender issues. The group’s artworks take shape through processes of cross-reference between their investigations into “food” and diverse activities in the realms of art, ethnography, research and practical work. Their research activities are informed by the members’ interest in experimenting and exploring appropriate methods and formats, ranging from creative (performances, installations, exhibitions, etc.) to everyday activities (cooking, gardening, reading, etc.).
