Profile
Christian Sleiman is a Lebanese artist currently based in Beirut. His practice examines the vegetative souls through minor rituals, fabulations, and recipes. Using food as a medium for day-to-day survival, the practice weaves a collection of invitations between foraging, cooking, and serving food to explore the political implications of eating and the communal value that comes with it. These acts reveal a deeper collective understanding of ecosystems and the seasonality of lands that has been passed on through generational knowledge.
