Dining with the Sultan: The Fine Art of Feasting
The act of coming together to partake of a meal is a practice shared by all cultures. Food defines us—we are what we eat. Dining with the Sultan: The Fine Art of Feasting is the first exhibition to present Islamic art in the context of its associated culinary traditions. The exhibition will stimulate not only the eyes but also the appetite, reminding students of the communal pleasure of food—both its taste and its presentation. The tour will explore what the art objects tell us about people and places and their habits around eating. It will also consider the rituals and traditions that surround food across cultures, and the way that food and food-related objects can engage the senses and lead to a deeper experience.
