Heritage Open Days‘Edible England’ 2021
To celebrate Heritage Open Days ‘Edible England’, Edible East hosted an exhibition exploring stories and histories of food. The exhibition ran from the 10th-19th September 2021 filling the whole of the Forum in Norwich.
Born out of a collaboration between artists and scientists; the Edible East community project encourages discussions around the future of our food. Following the creation of a city-wide art trail this exhibition brought together artists, scientists, historians and horticulturists to run a week of food-themed workshops and events for all ages.
