Euromarket is a new body of work in development within Madara’s practice. Beginning with embroidered reconstructions of European food shops in the UK, the work explores these spaces as places where different nationalities, languages and cultures intersect.
For Madara and many communities, these shops hold a particular significance as important places to source familiar foods and small comforts from home.
Working with hessian, a material associated with the transportation and movement of goods, alongside the traditionally domestic process of embroidery, the work reflects the ways cultural identity is carried across borders and maintained through everyday life.
The work also considers these shops as sites where cultural identity is visible, reflecting the tension between political narratives around migration and the everyday reality of people continuing to share and use these spaces.
The exhibition at General Practice brings together the first Euromarket work as well as brand new pieces, and other experimental works in progress as this body of work continues to develop.
