The People’s Kitchen

8-18 March 2023
Rainham, Havering.

The People’s Kitchen is a touring community art project that invites people to enjoy a hot soup, engage in dialogue about the things that matter and imagine new futures together. The space is a melting pot of ideas, thoughts, and reflections from all those who engage with it – slowly growing with time.

The project has been co-created in partnership with local people, community groups and organisations. Together we are aiming to inspire and activate social change, planting seeds for new food and cultural legacies.

A space of hope and togetherness.
