VICKY TRUONG X PROMONA SENGUPTA, BERLIN

A Feeders Community Care & Resilience

Playing with food, community care and art

In a series of collaborations, Vicky is inviting comrades to cook a dish of their choice while caring for one another. With the ingredients, Vicky designs visual patterns which are printed on small square towels. These towels are a symbol of community care and resilience through nourishing the body, sharing intimate stories and soaking up knowledge. This creates deep connections between people which can allow for collaboratively dismantling unjust systems of oppression and inequity together. 

A Feeders Community Care & Resilience #1
Promona cooked a Prawn Malaikari (old Bengali fusion dish with heavy east Asian influence, hence the name 'Malay-Curry') eaten with rice.
While marinating prawns, frying spices and infusing the coconut milk, Vicky and Promona spoke about the history of the dish and how it is connected to lands and time … before it became the old Bengali dish it is today.
