Whilst in residence in Birmingham, mixrice produced the second iteration of their project mixfruit. Working with migrant and refugee groups including the Birch Network meet and greet and Kushinga Garden, a project that brings together migrants, refugees and community gardeners in Bournville, mix rice led a series of workshops which asked participants to share memories of the sight, smell, taste of fruits from home, and then recreated these using coloured clay, drawing, writing, and the flesh of other fruits. The outcomes of these workshops, and others held across Birmingham, formed part of the exhibition, Migrating Flavours (2018), at Eastside Projects.
mixrice is an art collective led by Seoul based artists Cho Ji Eun (b.1975) and Yang Chul Mo (b.1977). Read more about their exhibition at Eastside Projects here: https://eastsideprojects.org/projects/mixrice-at-eastside-projects/
