An evening performance where three dishes are served:

Tørrfish med bacon fra Nord-Norge/Sápmi

*

Groundnut stew fra Ghana

*

Saltfish buljol fra Trinidad

How did Norwegian tørrfisk become the national dish of a number of Caribbean islands as well as a popular food in West Africa? Through this performative dinner we will eat our way along the routes of Norway’s role in the Transatlantic Trade of enslaved People.

These dishes are served within the exhibition Veien Hjem, using the hand carved bowls and spoons that form an installation. The physical work, and performative dinner are based around the route of travel of Norwegian stockfish and its role of trading- and feeding- the triangular Trans Atlantic Trade of Enslaved people, connecting the coasts of Lofoten/Lofuohta, Accra and Port of Spain, questioning our unconscious -or hidden- complicities in oppressive structures and histories.

Number of participants/diners: 21

Notes: Dishes contain fish, lactose, egg and peanuts.
