Nourishment | Autumn 2023

This Autumn, Nourishment: a cyclical programme returns, with a focus on food cultures and stories, collective meals as spaces for conversation, and care for people and land as a foundation for healthy food.

This long-term cyclical programme delves into food justice, nourishment, growing and regenerative food systems. Nourishment invites artists, activists, cooks, community organisers, gardeners, and local people to come together through a seasonal programme – creating space for imagining and implementing different food systems. 

This season, Roo Dhissou’s Courses for Dis-Course(s) exhibition inhabits Gallery One at Primary - conjuring a space for for dining, eating, cooking and gathering - and asking who gets a seat at the table? Alongside the exhibition, Roo has developed an activity for young people, and we’ll be hosting a community meal within the gallery.

Nourishment events include a session with Matt Gale to make ‘Dirty Cultures’ - growing fungi outdoors on waste material, a community meal with Himmah and Nottz Garden Project, and a workshop with Nottingham Dye Studio to explore the Sumac tree as dye, medicine and food. And join Saintly Amok to grind and cook with grain grown in the Primary garden, that was sown in the spring.
