OUR VISION

Behind The Seen is a collective fostering an ongoing collaboration initiated at the Royal College of Art and extending and expanding beyond it. We believe in the power of collaboration and reciprocity to build networks of healing.

 

"Recipes of Healing" is an art and cultural project that intertwines food, personal narratives, and collective histories to explore themes of belonging, heritage, nature, ecology and identity.

 

This is brought to life through an immersive installation where six women gather around a dining table, which we've constructed from elements reflective of our diverse backgrounds and our unique recipes for healing.

 

These recipes transcend culinary traditions; they symbolize the processes of healing, sharing, consuming, and redefining personal and communal narratives.

 

The project's embodiment is intentionally transient, as we document each dining experience in locations imbued with past colonial, spiritual, or personal significance. Through shared meals, conversations, and the digestion of histories, this project fosters a safe space for collective healing and reflection, while highlighting food as a powerful medium for storytelling and reconnecting to our roots.
