A Meal with Friends is an invitation by artist Kathryn D’Agostino to gather together for conversations about community and sustainability. This interactive art piece encourages people to not just touch the art but to rearrange it and to sit with it and to sit with others.
Sitting in conversation with others around a table of food is a common experience and yet it is always changing reflecting the spiraling nature of simultaneously building community and self-identity. Food can be comfort and connection, it can also be divisive, and it has intimate ties to ourselves and our communities.
Artist Bio:
Kathryn is an interdisciplinary artist, writer, and researcher currently living in Ktaqmkuk (Newfoundland) with her daughters. Her work is an inward journey to explore identity within community, using visual themes of food, vessels, and nature. Kathryn’s academic work has looked at the intersectionality of community, crafts, cultural preservation, and commodification of culture in Ktaqmkuk. Her visual and written art addresses similar themes as her academic research while further incorporating her identity as a ‘Come From Away,” a mother, and a queer lesbian. She has previously shown her work at the 2024 Eastern Edge and 2024 IceberGallery’s member shows, Quidi Vidi and CB Nuit – Spiral.
