THE KITCHEN

Produced in collaboration with Something Nice, the project will culminate in a community-focused YouTube channel offering accessible, hands-on cooking guidance.
Food. Hospitality. Exchange.
Arcade’s kitchen sits at the heart of our independent art gallery in South East London, bringing food, art and ecology into closer conversation.
Cooked together. Shared together.

The kitchen
A working kitchen sits at the centre of the gallery programme, creating a bridge between artistic research and everyday life. Cooking, hosting and conversation offer a setting in which artists, audiences and neighbours can meet through shared experience and the simple act of eating together.
With resident chef Marco Donadon and a wider network of artists and partners, Arcade is developing a collaborative kitchen programme encompassing ingredient studies, workshops, shared meals and supper clubs. Food becomes a way to exchange knowledge, build relationships and explore how ingredients, environments and systems of production connect us.
Collaborations with organisations including Company Drinks, Culture Access and local groups make the kitchen a platform for exploring food ecologies, sustainability, care, accessibility and shared labour.
Why Fred?
Fred takes its name from Fred Dewey, who understood the table as a form of public space.
As a Community Interest Company, income generated through exhibitions, hospitality and the kitchen is reinvested in artistic projects, public workshops and long-term partnerships across South East London and beyond.
