Under the sea

To invite people to dine with us is to make ourselves responsible for their well-being for as long as they are under our roofs - Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

We invite you to join us Thursday the 8th of July for our first Eat & Arts Fest event! Hosted at the stunning House of Transformation  in Shoreditch, Eat & Arts Fest: Under the Sea will explore the tantalising flavours, colours and sounds of the Ocean. Inspired by The Serpentine Pavilion’s Radical Kitchen Project in 2018 (watch the video here), guests will be encouraged to learn about how to enjoy seafood in sustainable and cruelty-free ways through a diverse and creative homemade menu. Experience a bespoke soundtrack, especially designed by Brazilian DJ AmarAll which explores his own memories of the sea and make an interactive collaborative artwork alongside painter and performance artist Cara Mathia Brennan. Under the Sea will be donating 10% of all profits made from ticket sales and proceeds of the future sale of the Under the Sea  group art project to the The Ocean Clean Up . Tickets are set at £30 pounds to cover our costs, but we realise that Lockdown has put a lot of people in unfortunate circumstances, so if you can't afford the price, don't worry, just pop us an email here  and we are happy to offer a discount.  Due to government regulations spaces are limited to 20 people, so don't miss out, grab your ticket now!

Eat & Arts Festival Eat & Arts Fest is a collaborative project that brings people together from all different artistic backgrounds. Created by Cooking New Stories founder, Daniela Paiva, abstract artist and performer, Cara Mathia Brennan and Brazilian DJ AmarAll, Eats & Arts Fest produces events for people to learn from each other at, share, connect and fill a little of the void we’ve all felt throughout isolation. We hear the music, smell the food and see and feel the art!
