Join us for a special edition of Black Feast at Headlands Center for the Arts as part of NEXUS Week in partnership with MoAD. This dinner will bring together up to 80 guests for an immersive dining and performance experience that honors Black creative work and fosters communal connection across the Bay Area arts ecosystem.

Black Feast
A creation of Black narrative, an offering to Black lineage, Black Feast is a culinary event that celebrates Black artists and writers through food. At our table, guests participate in an experience that weaves together food and art, where Salimatu works with Black artists to create a four-course meal based off of the artist’s work. Supported with creative direction by Annika Hansteen-Izora, Black Feast is led by two queer, Black artists that believe in food and art as a site of possibility. Our dinner experiences are a space where food celebrates Black art, Black stories, Black love, Black movement, & Black voices.

Headlands provides an unparalleled environment for the creative process and the development of new work and ideas. Through a range of programs for artists and the public, we offer opportunities for reflection, dialogue, and exchange, and build understanding and appreciation for the role of art in society. Headlands’ Monthly Suppers offer a chance to experience an evening at Headlands through the lens of our Artists. Your seat at the table helps sustain our mission of supporting artists and creative exchange.
