Who is at your table?

Hannah Oldham’s work explores how the gallery can become a space of welcome rather than exclusion. By inviting viewers to respond to the question, “Who is at your table, and what are they eating?” through handwritten notecards, the exhibition becomes a collaborative archive of memory, care, and connection. These responses transform the audience from passive viewers into active participants, creating an evolving conversation within the space itself. Food and gathering are central to Oldham’s practice because they hold the power to connect people across difference. She views the shared meal as a form of fine art: temporary, relational, and deeply human. Through participation and shared reflection, Oldham asks viewers to consider connection itself as an artistic medium.
