EXPLORING GESTURES THROUGH BREAD
Guest lecture and workshop at Gerrit Rietveld Academy, Amsterdam
Invited by artist, designer and educator, Wael el Allouche, we hosted a workshop for the basic year students of The Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam.
Based on the loose concept of gestures, we introduced students to Broudou Magazine by sharing a collection of images and videos from our past research and activities around bread. By illustrating different gestures in relation to bread making, we collectively explored their diverse symbolic and cultural implications.
In an attempt to imagine bread as an extension of the body, we invited students to design utensils made of dough. At the end of the workshop we baked the bread utensils, solidifying their shapes.
