Risen is curated by Bath/Bristol based artists Wisterlitz. Our pop-up bakery of art and ideas at 22c New Bond Street aims to create a wide-ranging conversation about bread and food more generally. It includes work from artists working in a variety of media, with opportunities to take part in drop-in artist-led workshops.
Bread connects us with our personal and shared histories better than any other foodstuff. Risen explores bread as sustenance, a nutritious and sensorial food staple. It explores bread’s provenance, its manufacture and its ingredients, from the soil up. And it pays homage to bread’s symbolic and transcendent role in belief systems.
Our artists’s work all responds to the themes of Risen and helps us create a place for holding diverse, reflective discussions about bread and the food system.

Curated by Wisterlitz
We are Wisterlitz, a collaboration between artists Liz Lister and Rebecca Hurwitz. We have been making work together since 2015, inspired by taking a feminist angle on the customs and outputs of science and technology.
Our practice centres on creating opportunities for audiences to encounter ideas, engage with alternative perspectives and participate in playful critique of priorities and assumptions. We are developing an approach based on the concept of dialogic space, which we define as the practice of creating spaces that contain objects, ideas and people in open, shared dialogue with each other.
