Project Description:
BreadMatters is a platform for exchange and collaboration, a vehicle for bringing together artists and other professionals from various disciplines to create artwork and to question, debate and explore the cultural, social and political significance and common usage of bread in society.

In 2005, West Cork Arts Centre hosted a Forum and Exhibition entitled ‘Bread Matters III’. This event will be mainly focused on Irish, Portuguese, Polish and British participation.

The Taste of West Cork Festival also coincided with Bread Matters.
