food dress

Filmed “A Taste of Culture”, an embroidered dress created by the Women's Textile Group at Manchester Jewish Museum — a long-running group of mostly Jewish and Muslim makers who previously produced work for the museum's Laure Prouvost exhibition. The dress is built from food memory: masala tea, Jewish chicken soup, the spice-filled dishes of Sephardi Jews from the Middle East, each stitched in by the maker it belongs to. Sixteen women are credited on the finished piece. It went on display in the museum foyer from December 2025 to March 2026.
