VENUE

House of Transformation is a ‘re-imagining space’ located in Shoreditch that is dedicated to enhancing wellbeing, showcasing the arts and unleashing circularity and igniting lasting change in communities.

Collaborators

Eat & Arts Fest is a collaborative project that brings people together from all different artistic backgrounds. Created by Cooking New Stories founder, Daniela Paiva, abstract artist and performer, Cara Mathia Brennan and Brazilian DJ AmarAll, Eats & Arts Fest produces events for people to learn from each other at, share, connect and fill a little of the void we’ve all felt throughout isolation. We hear the music, smell the food and see and feel the art!

UNDER THE SEA

Hosted at the stunning House of Transformation  in Shoreditch, Eat & Arts Fest: Under the Sea explored the tantalising flavours, colours and sounds of the Ocean.

Inspired by The Serpentine Pavillion’s Radical Kitchen Project in 2018 (watch the video here), guests were encouraged to learn about how to enjoy seafood in sustainable and cruelty-free ways through a diverse and creative home made menu. Guests experienced a bespoke relaxing soundtrack, especially designed by Brazilian DJ AmarAll which explored his own memories of the sea and made an interactive collaborative artwork alongside painter and performance artist Cara Mathia Brennan.

Under the Sea donated 10% of all profits made from ticket sales and proceeds of the future sale of the Under the Sea  group art project to the The Ocean Clean Up .
