Professor Mali Wu, the foremost Taiwanese artist, curator and academic, also the co-curator of the upcoming 2018 Taipei Biennale is visiting to Perth this coming weekend!   Mali will be showig the documentary film “The Stitching Sisterhood” on the women’s community project that she worked with in Taiwan many years ago. The participants of this group of women were mainly housewives and had never produced nor even interested in contemporary art. This project has also had an astongihsed outcome in the group exhibition called "Awaken from Your Skin" curated by Mali Wu.  The documentry fillm was directed by a Taiwnase filmmaker Chien Wei-ssu, with Chinese and English subtitle.  Apart from showing this film, Mali will talk about her ongoing food project and would like the attendees to bring a favourite dish to share and tell the stories behind the dishes.  Here are some of the thoughts for your considerations and inspirations:  
 
What is Taste? Food is needed for human survival. It sounds simple, but food is a very complicated issue.  Where does the food come from? How is food planted? How is food eaten? What food is there to eat? Where to eat? These questions reflect the deep connection between people and the environment, cultural customs and personal feelings of individuals. With the development of globalization and the food industry, what and how people eat have also undergone dramatic changes.   Wu Mali’s research begins at Cijin, Kaohsiung, which used to be a small finishing village. It later became an important container port, and has now transformed in to a place where tourists like to visit. “Come to Cijin to eat seafood and enjoy the sea” has become a slogan for the tourism in Chijin.  But what do we eat? What is the taste of food? Can our taste buds help us explore the issues behind the food?  Mali would like to invite the audience to bring a plate to share and tell the story of this dish and being part of her ongoing research and exploration for the food project.   If you are interested in attending in this event, please bring a plate to share and RSVP here through the eventbrite.

Looking forward to having your participation of the evening with film, food, and art projects!
