Welcome to the table

Belfast School of Art · Exhibitions · Culture · Unusual · Visual art · Workshops & classes
As part of Irish Design Week 2026 Welcome to the table is a participatory visual project and exhibition exploring belonging, third culture identity and cultural exchange through the lens of food, table settings, and shared meal rituals. You are invited to co-create table environments inspired by different cultures and ways of living, with each table becoming a visual expression of heritage, cultural traditions, rituals as well as contemporary habits. The project is rooted in the idea that identity is not only shaped by nationality but by lived experience, creativity, migration and memory and that it continues to evolve. Through designed tableware, surfaces, vessels and place settings, audiences are invited to experience different cultures. From creating centrepieces with natural materials to exploring zines and Tunisian cuisine, our workshops during Irish Design Week 2026 will turn ideas into objects and shared experiences, with the resulting tables and stories displayed at Belfast Central Library and Second Nature. Join us and develop ideas through making and exchange with contributions from designers, artists, researchers and food practitioners. What’s on: Hands-on design and making workshops exploring table settings, objects and natural materials Conversations about food, culture, creative health and who gathers around the table Food and Gathering focused sessions with BIA!
