Turning Japanese

In 2011 Marine Studios worked with Artist Sophie Herxheimer to collect Margate food stories. The Pie Days & Holidays project became a book, picnic, exhibtion and episode of the Radio 4 Food Programme. The project has now been featured in The Big Issue in Japan. The catalyst for this global migration was a shared residency for Fermynwoods Contemporary Art, where Sophie met Tomoko Take. Tomoko is a Japanese Artist who lives in Amsterdam, who also likes food as a theme. To read the story click here. Have Google Translate at the ready. Some of the Pie Days & Holidays food stories can still be seen on the seafront hoardings in Margate.
