The opening show of Hayy Jameel, Art Jameel’s 700-square-metre museum, is called ‘Staple: What’s on your plate?’, co-curated with London-based partner Delfina Foundation, it is inspired by Jeddah’s richly diverse population. The exhibition investigates what we eat and the entanglement of food with memory, ecology and place, through the varied contributions of more than 30 artists, researchers, thinkers, performers, filmmakers and creative practitioners. A collaborative research process exploring food systems and networks globally has been underway for the past two years and includes a “laboratory” of artists, writers and thinkers from the Gulf and beyond.
