We associate food and drink with rituals, rules and traditions - they create community, but they can also be exclusive. How, where and with whom we eat says a lot about social structures. For the ongoing project A Painting for a Family Dinner by Alina and Jeff Bliumis, the artist couple were invited to dinner by 62 families to date - in return they received a painting. A group photograph was taken afterwards. The resulting 'family portraits' tell a story of hospitality, exchange and artistic interaction, and invite us to take a fresh look at eating as a unifying practice. Text in English and German.
