***N.B. Banquet is open to all - participants are invited to bring a vegan dish and recipe to share; in exchange for a free artwork edition*** This collective performance is organised by **[Tiziana Pers](https://www.instagram.com/tizianapers)** as part of ‘[Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead](https://www.instagram.com/mariahinel/p/DW3vlnuje3R)’, a group exhibition exploring animal agency, curated by host **[Maria Hinel](https://mariahinel.com)** at **[Hypha Gallery 1](https://hyphastudios.com/hypha-gallery1-at-no-1-poultry-2)** ([map](https://maps.google.com/?cid=5994705386449023815)). Each participant is invited to think of a dish without meat or fish or other animal derivatives, which represents an important moment in one's life, to transcribe the recipe, and to bring the described dish to the gallery. In exchange for their dish and recipe, each performer would receive a **numbered artwork edition multiple signed by the artist**, depicting an animal that she had saved from being killed. The dishes will be shared among all those present, in a real collective meal composed of a multitude of gestures and memories. The collection of recipes thus ideally contains a plurality of memories and notes aimed at imagining a possible banquet. The very gesture of sitting at a common table without pain, where future prospects and reflections can be shared, is today symbolically even more relevant. [Nourishment for a Post-Anthropocentric Banquet](https://www.instagram.com/rave_residency/p/DXIlAQnCHC5) is therefore a collective action that questions possible considerations, starting with the consumption of meat and fish on ecosystems and its role in climate change (which is beginning to show its cruellest face), and at the same time wants to imagine a humanity capable of coexistence, and no longer just existence. **Exhibition is on view until 18th April** Opening Hours: Wednesday-Saturday 11 AM-6 PM.
