Make content about: Anna turned kitchen memories into art
A fire destroyed Anna's harbour installation before it opened. She rebuilt the project around recorded memories of Black British kitchens.
This story
In 2022, Anna's art installation was destroyed by fire in a harbour cockle shed just before opening. In place of the physical space, she shaped her recorded interviews with Hastings friends and family about their kitchens into an audio work. In May 2025, she gathered contributors and guests to share food, listen to a reworked version, and plan the project's next phase.
