Have you ever looked at a piece of artwork and thought, that looks so good I could eat it. If you have, you’ll be in good hands at Tender Touches, a pop-up gallery-cum-café at Peckham’s AMP Gallery. The exhibition is co-curated by Huma Kabakci and Inês Neto dos Santos, who say the aim is “to challenge the formal approach to exhibition-making through the interactive nature of visitors eating together, but also questions the dynamics of the exhibition space through the presentation of functional art objects.”


Santos, a multi-disciplinary artist who focuses on merging art with sustainable food practices, has curated a menu themed on seasonality and local produce. The result is that Tender Touches offers a selection of savoury and sweet dishes that changes regularly throughout the six weeks of the exhibition. But the art is not limited to the food alone. Together with 11 other artists, Santos has created a dining space in which the crockery and cutlery is hand-sculpted, and both candlesticks and napkins have been designed by the artists to reflect textures of different body parts. Tuck into plates of jelly while pondering the hanging artwork that’s been made with corn, clay and fruit.


If that hasn’t fully satisfied your appetite, Tender Touches will be accompanied by a programme of tours, supper clubs, and workshops with the artists involved, allowing you to delve deeper in an already immersive exhibition.

  • Aside

    The Sunday roasts at Aside are superb. It's rare to find the beef that dares to be so rare yet so tender. There's invariably pork belly, chicken, and lamb – all piled with veg, and topped with a crisp yet billowing Yorkshire pudding. A stupendous treat.
