Global Feast

Digital Drama are delighted to have been commissioned for a second year by Global Arts Kingston to produce their programme for the Kinston Connections festival.

Global Feast is an oral history project which focuses on bringing to life the heritage of Kingston’s Tamil, Chinese, Korean, Gujarati, Punjabi and Afro-Caribbean communities through food. It will explore recipes, dishes and feasts brought to Kingston by members of these communities and their relatives and ancestors as they made Kingston their home and brought the flavours, tastes and smells of their homeland with them. It will provide opportunities for cultures from different communities to compare how recipes were handed down to them and explore the regional and family variations in their meals and feasts or celebrations. The theme of food will provide a focal point for the exploration of a much wider heritage around cultural identity.

Global Feast will be part of Kingston Connections, 21-29 June 2014 at The Rose Theatre and will also be featured on the Global Arts Kingston website.

Global Feast is supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund and Awards for All
