Tiyan Baker talks about their work the inspiration behind their work Dihan Bitugung da Pasar in The Churchie Emerging Art Prize 2021. This video is designed to engage students in the creation of a small sculpture that uses food as a symbol to express their own cultural or personal identity.

Classroom Activities
Explore a food that has special meaning for you and your family and create a small sculpture or series of sculptures using clay, either air-drying modelling clay, plasticine or ceramic clay. Share the story behind the food with your class, either as a short written paragraph or oral presentation

Or prepare a collective feast with your class and display this as a still life. Create a small sculpture or series of sculptures inspired by the food on display. Then, discuss the stories behind the works whilst sharing and enjoying the feast as a class.
