Trinity Bristol hosts a performative celebration of food, culture and community
The Trinity Centre is hosting “a performative celebration” of food, culture, and community on April 11.
TASTE is described as a unique performance in which Bristol’s multicultural fabric is hailed through the lens of sharing a meal.
“As the meal is prepared,” organisers say, “audience members, performers, and participants come together to co-create an unforgettable experience.
is needed now More than ever
Through sound, movement and visual poetry, TASTE transforms ordinary rituals into extraordinary shared moments.”
Led by theatre and performance artist Carlota Matos and produced by Weronika Dwornik, the event also features local artists and creatives including Ania Varez (Interval), Hiba Elhindi (SudaFest), Roxana Vilk (Vilk Collective), and Sherien Elsheikh (BRAC).

In developing the idea, the team has benefited from mentoring and dramaturgical support from Jonny Cotsen (Deaf Access consultant) as well as Quarantine.
Informed by weekly creative workshops for migrant women at Borderlands, the evening is underpinned by a need to maximise access, boost both participation and collaboration and to transcend the barriers of language.
As well as an optional quiet space, a creche facility will be provided for children under 9 years old, and BSL interpretation will be available. The food will be vegan and Halal, and no alcohol will be served.
The event is supported by Culture West with funding from Arts Council England and West of England Combined Authority, and has been organised in partnership with Borderlands, Trinity and Bristol Refugee Festival.
TASTE is at The Trinity Centre on April 11 at 6-9pm. Tickets are available at www.trinitybristol.org.uk – free for BSL users and refugee and asylum seekers. Any ticket holders who require BSL or those with allergies are invited to email with their requirements.
