My Dinner is an immersive art installation: Part food art and part theatrical set up. Thematically, it resembles a sit-down table-for-ten dinner party. My Dinner attempts to explore the process and emotions that surround relocation, immigration, finding a new home, integration and, finally, belonging. My Dinner toys with food forms and taste, representing emotions and seeking to begin the process of transition. At the same time, this art installation deepens the connection between guests at the table. Let's start this unique journey together!

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Racha Tarazi pushes design norms to challenge us to connect and collaborate as our most authentic selves. She experiments with spaces, materials, objects, and new media to customize environments and develop experiences that prompt deeper interaction. Often, she uses exaggeration, humor, and play to build the trust necessary to explore and create from a pure place. Currently based in Amsterdam and Amman, where she builds on her Architecture Degree and her MFA in Design and Technology from New York’s Parsons School of Design, Racha works as an Experience and Product Designer, Creative Director, Architect, and Conceptual Artist. Seeing the value of connection across cultures, Racha went independent as an Experience Designer and built new brands between New York, Dubai, and across Jordan. She founded and creatively led DI, a design studio responsible for the upgrade of the Jordan National Museum. As an artist, Racha's work interrogates the purpose and function of public spaces, specifically examining how people connect with the spaces they inhabit and how they connect with other people in them. As always, her objective is to evolve our experiences within existing spaces creating deeper levels of trust and heightening the sense of togetherness.
