THE KITCHEN

Our partnership with Company Drinks exemplifies our belief that art doesn’t exist in a vacuum; it nourishes us, sustains us, and, like food, is integral to community and social change. Art is not just something we look at, it’s something we consume, participate in, and reflect upon, both in our everyday lives and in the spaces we create together.

In an age where food production, sustainability, and social justice are more urgent than ever, we’re excited to offer this opportunity to experience how art and social enterprise can coexist, offering a taste of both cultural reflection and practical, accessible innovation.

Stay tuned as we continue to build on this exciting momentum, and get ready to be part of something that’s not only about art, but also about the communities it serves and the conversations it ignites.

Cooking with Support, developed with Culture Access; a programme exploring food and disability justice through practical workshops and inclusive media. Produced in collaboration with Something Nice, the project will culminate in a community-focused YouTube channel offering accessible, hands-on cooking guidance.

The Kitchen

A working kitchen sits at the centre of the gallery programme as a bridge between artistic research and everyday life. Cooking, hosting and discussion fold naturally into the programme, creating a setting where artists, audiences and neighbours can meet on equal terms.

Resident chef Marco Donadon is building a kitchen programme including ingredient studies, workshops, shared meals and supper clubs that invite artists, patrons and local groups to cook, taste and host together.

As a Community Interest Company, income we generate through exhibitions and the kitchen is reinvested into artistic projects, public workshops and long-term partnerships across South East London.

Through collaborations with organisations such as Company Drinks, Culture Access and local community groups, the kitchen also becomes a platform for exploring questions of care, accessibility and shared labour.
