Place Settings for Social Justice
Place Settings for Social Justice pop-up show was held at Dick Wallers Art Place on Court St. This was a collaboration by Cincinnati artists.
In Spring of 2017, performers from Pones Inc and visual artist Pam Kravetz invited audiences to sit down, share a meal and discover stories of local immigrants around our table.
This fast-paced piece changed from family dinner to art gallery, cooking show to dance. “Place/Setting” broke down barriers, diffused stereotypes, cultivated empathy and challenged patrons to explore ideas of belonging and home.
The original ceramic place settings that accompanied the performance were inspired by immigrants who live in Cincinnati. Each unique story influenced a local artist to create a handmade place setting. The designs and shapes of the plates, cups, and utensils reflect emotions and cultural influences from each individual narrative.
