Courses for Dis-Course(s) - The zine

Artist Roo Dhissou conjures up a space, for dining, eating, cooking and gathering that manifest in a sort of kitchen, dining room, café, restaurant, chill space.  

The project includes a series of exhibitions and dining events for British South Asian artists. Roo wants to explore who gets a seat at the table, the politics of orthodoxies, the art space, the home, the kitchen and the gallery by presenting a new body of sculptural, functional and architectural works that employ a variety of British Asian visual languages, culinary traditions and materiality.  

Courses for Dis-Course(s) is a programme created by Roo Dhissou in partnership with GLOAM (Sheffield) and part of Primary’s Nourishment programme. Together along with the artist, GLOAM and Primary are working on a new form of artist-institution relationships that nurture equity and reciprocity. This project is supported by Arts Council England. 

The zine includes sketchbooks drawings, research images and a compilation of influences for the project as well as WIP images giving an insight into the work made.
