Experience facilitating workshops with intergenerational community groups, including elders and newly arrived residents, is desirable.

Job Description
Recipes of Home creates a space for South Asian residents of Wandsworth to come together, share and collaborate - connecting through food as a vessel for memory, culture and continuity. The project gathers recipes, food memories and kitchen stories from residents in and around the Winstanley & York Road area of Battersea, recognising the kitchen as a site of living heritage that rarely makes it into formal archives. Recipes shared may have shifted across generations - through migration, through what could and couldn't be found in new kitchens - and these adaptations are themselves the heritage. The material gathered will be brought together into a community-authored zine, distributed free across libraries and community venues in the borough.
We are looking for an artist to lead the creative facilitation of three workshops at Katherine Low Settlement in July 2026, working closely with the project lead (Devanshi Rungta). The artist will:
Facilitate three workshops at Katherine Low Settlement (July 2026)
Hold space for storytelling, conversation, tasting, drawing and hands-on zine page making
Help shape a warm, welcoming and accessible environment for participants of all ages, including elders and newly arrived residents.Job Requirements
We are particularly excited to hear from South Asian artists based in Wandsworth or the surrounding boroughs whose practice engages with food, food ecologies, migration, archival material, food systems and intergenerational knowledge. Lived connection to South Asian food heritage and family memory traditions is at the heart of this project.Useful Links
