The leftovers
A two-night intimate dinner series celebrating the Winter edition of Queeriosities at the Museum of the Home.
17-18 november 2023
On this occasion, Will Martin and I collaborated with the Museum of the Home to create a dinner series that celebrated the winter edition of Queeriosities.
Blurring the lines between high art and domestic craft, this immersive event asked the question, 'What makes a queer home?' The holiday season can be especially challenging for our community, and The Leftovers, in particular, celebrated our friendships and chosen families to reclaim festive cheer and queer joy.
The three-course menu featured nostalgic holiday comfort foods with ample options for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike, all served on Will's handmade ceramic tableware.
Before gathering around the table, guests also gained access to an exclusive preview of selected objects and artworks that were presented at the Queeriosities fair in December.
