Battlefield Bodies

107 High Street, Sugar House Island, Stratford, E15 2RB

PV: Thursday, 6th March, 6 – 9pm
Open: 7th March – 12th April 2025, Thursday-Sunday, 1-7pm

Battlefield Bodies is Food of War’s first show addressing the theme of eating disorders. In collaboration with partners MQ Mental Health Research and Hypha Studios, Food of War aims to creatively explore the internal conflict to better understand its impact and effects. This collective exhibition will feature a series of artworks and installations.

All works have been created exclusively for the exhibition. The never-before-seen pieces were inspired by the concept of transformation. They showcase the artists’ experiences and offer an intimate look at their relationship with eating and how it has evolved over the years. In conjunction, the pieces attempt to collage these experiences and subjectively express a theme whose intricacies often cannot be put into words or rationalised.

 The conversation aims to evoke emotion and inspire people to understand eating disorders beyond the sensationalised images and superficial representations that have historically been the mainstream reference.
