PhD researcher Carmen Wong receives funding to develop and document performances in Wong's 'Eating into Elsewhere' practice-research
Congratulations to PaR PhD Carmen Wong and her collaborators who have received funding from both the Public Engagement Fund and the Connecting Cultures GRP to develop and document the diptych of Wong's performances: 鈥淏reakfast Elsewhere鈥� and 鈥淯nmade, Untitled鈥�. Carmen's social practice work explores how belonging in an age of globalized migration might be affectively embodied and performed through translative, and convivial food-making practices. A set of performances, in preparation for Coventry City of Culture 2021, will be staged next year. Wong will work with Coventry community organizers who will host the performances in their home kitchens, inviting audience participants from diverse backgrounds to dialogue about food, place, memory, and migration.
