What's Eating Our Reality

Fermynwoods Contemporary Art, in partnership with The Core at Corby Cube, is proud to present What’s Eating Our Reality, a powerful new immersive performance by artist Maya Chowdhry, with collaborator and chef Alison Clare, inviting audiences to experience the future of food in a world shaped by ecological climate breakdown.

Set as a four-course meal in an imagined future, What’s Eating Our Reality gently immerses participants in a sensorial exploration of what we might grow, cook, and eat as the climate crisis accelerates. Through storytelling, projection mapping, and sound, the work asks a pressing and personal question: What if the food you love doesn’t exist in 2050?

Drawing on interviews with local growers, community members and young people, What’s Eating Our Reality weaves real experiences into a speculative future.

How are we going to grow our fruit and vegetables in 2050? What if our favourite food became extinct during our lifetime? What can we do to prevent that from happening?

Answers to questions such as these will be posed by Northamptonshire residents , projected directly onto the plates in front of participants, transforming the dinner table into a site of reflection, imagination and possibility.
