GUEST CURATOR - Talia Shipman
Talia Shipman
Jan. 17 – 21, 2022The work of the artist Talia Shipman bridges art, food, social gathering, and social justice. Her photography and installations raise questions about our place in the world as well as our fabricated and natural environments. More recently her work has transitioned to a community and culinary-based practice born of an urge to connect with others and support social causes. She has done this through the creation and sales of monthly artist-chef hummus collaborations. This week she will share with us her multifaceted and evolving views of the world and current events.
Talia Shipman is an L.A.-based artist & entrepreneur, creating beautiful and meaningful experiences at the intersection of food, art, philanthropy & design. In 2019, Shipman conceived HAFO SAFO, a curated dining experience in her Silverlake backyard, pairing artists & chefs. The 2020 civil rights uprise and pandemic spawned her current venture: SOCIAL HUMMUS. Monthly featured chefs create unique flavors and choose a social justice charity to donate the profits to. “We are all about pushing artistic and culinary limits while expanding community and raising money for charity. I believe being an artist can manifest in infinite forms…right now food is where my creativity and passion is outpouring...it’s so tactile and fun.” Follow @social_hummus for the best hummus in LA (shipping nationally soon).
Shipman has always been interested in exploring humans' interaction with the environment and community, as well as the ongoing quest for finding balance between extremes. Shipman’s work has been exhibited in galleries internationally, is part of global collections, and her public art installations live permanently in both Canada and USA.

Remember the first few weeks of pandemic when we were all terrified, but the only thing saving us was the quality of Covid memes? Well, this isn’t a meme, it’s real news. Nonetheless, getting us through.

I'm fascinated by the breakdowns and the breakthroughs; the vast contrast of both expansion and retraction within humankind's capabilities.

I consume news predominantly via audio (podcasts, radio), and Instagram. I listen to NPR ‘Up First’ every day, while I cook breakfast or lunch. I often think about the contrast of standing safely in my kitchen in LA, with access to an abundance of beautiful and healthy food, while listening to (often) horrific, tragic, stories from around the world. Cooking has become such a therapy and art form for me, so in a way, I think it comforts me when I feel helpless with the information I’m receiving.

It always blows my mind, that behind shocking and often unbelievable headlines are real people, whose lives are often affected in ways we can not imagine. I think it's called empathy. Or curiosity?

Regram from @justiceforbrucesbeach
“First off, No @politico Mitch Ward, the only Black mayor to ever hold office in Manhattan Beach is NOT Kavon Ward's husband, That's an egregious error on your part 😳. The ancestors work through many people to get their most important work done. And secondly, we want to give special should to to our founder @kavonward1 and the @whereismyland team for continuing this most vital work in the face of opposition and tribulations. Join the antiracist conversation, it;s time to change American politics to antiracist politics!! ✨✊🏿✨✊🏿✨✊🏿✨✊🏿✨✊🏿✨✊🏿”
From Talia Shipman:
a) When the news get it WRONG b) Follow @justiceforbrucesbeach. I’m using my last post to draw attention to a mission I care deeply about, and a perfect example of what is meant by “reparations” and “generational wealth”. I was lucky enough to be included in photographing a peaceful demonstration in 2021 and have been following closely since. Justice for Bruce’s Beach.
