Steph Huang, Open Bar, 2022 (detail)
Steph Huang: Food Walk in Deptford Market
Join artist Steph Huang and sociologist Alex Rhys-Taylor on a walk and workshop exploring the food and commerce of South East London. The walk will connect Goldsmiths CCA to Deptford Market, a centuries-old street market. Participants will be given a set of tasks related to food, and will be asked to find as many of the items on the list as possible within an hour. We will then come together to discuss the social significance of the market, and the kinds of interactions it spurs.
Please meet at the Goldsmiths CCA front entrance at 2pm sharp. The walk to Deptford Market is a 15-minute walk that is flat and accessible. Please contact phoebe.cripps@gold.ac.uk if you have any questions about the walk or accessibility.

Alex Rhys-Taylor is a senior lecturer in sociology at Goldsmiths. His research is focussed on the ephemeral micro-interactions that comprise everyday life in the city. He has written extensively about the social life of smells and flavours in social processes, often through the prism of food objects such as mangoes, eels, and fried chicken. His current research is an effort to understand changes to etiquette and notions of civic virtue in the post-pandemic global city.
