Let’s set the table and break bread together, as crumbs of shared knowledge and laughter fill up the crevices of the spread. Candied Conversations is an encounter where we share a conversation and a meal, somewhere in Extra City’s monastery backyard…

With Candied conversations, Baya Collective invites you to join a feast where stories are woven into the meals. Each session invites an artist as they explore their artistic practice through food and its social, political and identity-molding nature.

Saturday, 30 July from 11:00 till 14:00, Baya Collective hosts the second session of Candied Conversations with Youd Toamah.

Joud Toamah is an interdisciplinary graphic designer and visual artist based in Antwerp, Belgium. Her work is mainly based on a practice of collecting, studying, and engaging with photographic archives in digital and intimate contexts, exploring image circulation and the activation of memories and events. Through video and printmaking, she unfolds personal and collective layers of memories recorded on the surface of the photograph reflecting on politics of relating and sharing and soft familial acts of resistance within the private and the intimate.

She has recently shown work at Photoforum in Bienne, Switzerland for Bieler Fototage festival 2022, was part of the .tiff exhibition 2021 in the context of Futures Photography project, at Morpho for the group exhibition ‘What Stories Want’ 2021, and was selected for the 2020 funds for a solo exhibition under the title ‘A sense of what I Remember’ at Fomu, Antwerp, 2022.
