Please join us for a special food-based activation by Tsohil Bhatia for Red Flower Collective, a communal eating and research collective of which they are a co-founder. The event is hosted by the New Art Dealers Alliance as part of the programming for NADA House, where CUE presents a new sculptural work by Bhatia, Untitled (Rano) in conjunction with their solo exhibition This Fire That Warms You.
The menu for the event will consist of aloo kachori, dahi bhalla papdi chaat, and masala peanut chaat. Come try it all! Food will be available until it runs out.
Red Flower Collective collaborates with artists, chefs, and curiosities-in-residence, and affirms queer and diasporic identities as they manifest themselves through food. The collective explores the kitchen as a forum in which to receive generational knowledge, and prioritizes the recipes derived from this research.
The event is free and all are welcome (donations are appreciated and support the work of Red Flower Collective). Bhatia’s sculpture, Untitled (Rano), will be on view at NADA House through October 27th, with public hours Friday–Sunday, 11 am–5 pm. No registration is required to attend either the event or public hours.
Register for updates via Luma here. (Please note that registration does not guarantee food—come early to ensure it’s still available!)

Entitled TRANSPARENCY, this exhibition features work by 15 artists who are alumni of the Joan Mitchell Foundation’s Art Education Program. Alumni were challenged to consider the theme of "transparency," traversing the many meanings of the word, and contribute work within the theme that highlights their talents and pushes the bounds of their practices as young artists. The resulting exhibition ranges in content from interpersonal intimacy to sociopolitical tragedy.
