Nourishment | Spring 2024
April – May 2024
Join us this Spring as Nourishment: a cyclical programme takes over Gallery One for a month – creating space for workshops, meals, events and film screenings. From broken global systems and climate breakdown to localised community responses and projects, this long-term cyclical programme delves into food justice, nourishment, growing and regenerative practices. Nourishment invites artists, activists, cooks, community organisers, gardeners, and local people to come together through a seasonal programme – creating space for imagining and implementing different food systems.
This season will range from getting to know the trees on our doorstep, to exploring food as medicine, to delving into the politics of extinction. There will be hands-on workshops, communal meals, and we’ll be hosting Luiza Prado’s project The Kitchen Network: the last reality tv food show on the planet.

Join us at Windmill Community Gardens for a plant and seed swap. Bring along spare seeds and plants you’d like to swap. If you don’t have any, you are welcome to take plants home and give a donation if you are able.
Oneiric Kitchen is a collaborative project by artist-filmmaker Chiemi Shimada and wellbeing practitioner Susie Cunningham. This workshop is for participants interested in exploring their sleep experiences. We are keen to connect with participants who have experience of sleep conditions.
Join us for a community screening of ‘Foragers’ by Jumana Manna, as part of ‘Nourishment: a Cyclical Programme’ at Primary.
Foragers depicts the dramas around the practice of foraging for wild edible plants in Palestine/Israel with wry humor and a meditative pace. The screening will be followed by a response and Q&A with artist, educator and architect Dima Srouji.
This event is a collaboration between Primary and Nottingham Contemporary.
