The Edible Art Movement invites you to take a step back, to literally touch the soil we live on and connect with something so simple yet profound: rice.
Rice and Asia are deeply associated, and paddy fields in many cultures are the site of community gathering, singing, storytelling, spiritual and creative expression to mark particular points such as planting or harvest.
EAM has always been interested in the ability of food to act as a stimulus to creativity, drawing people together in a celebratory atmosphere – not just around the dinner table but also throughout the growing, cultivating and harvesting process.
Join EAM to nurture an urban rice paddy in this art installation which invites your stories to become part of the art, in the heart of the newly invigorated cultural and heritage district, Bras Basah.
SATURDAY 31 May, 7pm
BYO Rice: The Edible Art Movement picnic
Join us in a BYO picnic: Meet artists & writers, gather round, tell your story or hear the stories of others – rice is about connecting people, so come and be part of a community. We have some beautiful take-away gifts for all who join in, so bring a rice dish and invite your friends!
Pop-ups throughout the festival – Jacquelyn Soo, Steven Low Thia Kwang and guest artists
