THE COMMUNION PROJECT

On going project on performance and institutional + public realm activation

‘Communion’ is a communal pounding table designed as a reimagination of the practice of making ‘fufu’. The work looks to create and reframe a traditional Ghanaian process of pounding cassava and plantain with mortar (woduro) and pestle (woma) as a communal act where multiple people can collectively engage in the making of ‘Fufu’ as a shared everyday act transformed into performance. The design centers the process of collectively making and sharing a meal as point for exchange and discussion.
