TASTE group exhibition

TASTE brings together over 60 artists, makers, designers and poets responding to the theme of food. Through a wide range of practices - from ceramics and glass to textiles, prints, sculpture and poetry - the exhibition explores the many ways food shapes our lives.

The works reflect on eating as both a simple daily act and a complex social ritual. They touch on pleasure and indulgence, digestion and decay, memory and nostalgia, as well as the cultural and emotional layers that surround what and how we consume.

Alongside the artworks, the exhibition also features a curated selection of tableware - from refined porcelain and plates made with Birmingham clay to thoughtfully designed glasses that enhance the sensual experience of food.

Each artwork is accompanied by a specially designed recipe card, where artists share the “ingredients”, “notes” and “method” behind their work. Inspired by the language of cooking, these cards reveal the materials, influences and processes that shape each piece, inviting visitors to read the artworks as recipes for making, thinking and tasting

Together, these works invite visitors to reflect on food not only as sustenance, but as a source of connection, ritual and imagination.
