Artist Statement.

Hungryeuropeans is an art project that uses food, performance, and hospitality as its primary media to explore the politics of hunger, colonial memory, and radical care.
It begins with a sharp contradiction: Europe, often seen as a place of abundance, has its own hidden hunger—and a historical appetite that helped produce famine elsewhere.

While hunger is typically imagined as a problem "elsewhere"—especially in the "Global South"—Hungryeuropeans brings the conversation home.
Through a series of traveling communal meals and exhibition-dinners across 33 European cities, I invite strangers to eat together and sit with uncomfortable truths: that hunger is not a distant abstraction, but a daily reality entangled with empire, economy, and culture.

Each meal is an artwork. Each plate is an archive. Each conversation a performance.
Across the project, I will host 33 intimate exhibition-dinners, each curated as both an installation and a gathering—a place to eat, witness, remember, and imagine.

The project also looks forward. Beyond Europe, Hungryeuropeans will fund 33 full, year-long scholarships for students in my home neighborhood, redistributing not just food but opportunity—because the care we share at one table should ripple outward, across continents.

This is art as sustenance, protest, and proposal.

Because hunger is not a concept.
