But at the University of Michigan Museum of Art’s installation “Table Manners,” visitors are actively encouraged to eat their lunch at the museum.
Open through Jan. 4 in the Irving Stenn, Jr. Family Gallery, the installation by British-Nigerian artist Zina Saro-Wiwa invites visitors to sit and virtually share a meal with people across the Atlantic.
Saro-Wiwa told The Daily that for her, “Table Manners” is about reclaiming stories about the Ogoni people of her homeland.
“I called it ‘Table Manners’; People think it’s about manners, it’s actually not,” Saro-Wiwa said.
Art & Design senior Marcela Passos attended “Table Manners: We Dey Chop” on Sept. 7.
