Girl Dinner examines the way womxn navigate systems of scarcity and unequal distribution. Through a series of mixed-media works, the exhibition delves into the metaphor of "leftovers" — not just in the physical sense, but as a symbol of societal structures that offer womxn and femmes only small portions of everything. Each piece reflects on a historical and ongoing marginalization, where womxn are often left with what remains.

Girl Dinner began as a viral internet craze around how womxn eat when no one is around. This concept left me hungry for more. Starved, in fact.

Girl Dinner has taken me on a material investigation of femininity defined by hunger. My own hunger. It made me bear witness to the way womxn and femme folks have kept their plates empty over time.

The way we learned to take up less space at the table.

The way our resilience was deemed classless.

The way we are consumed and commodified.

The way we gather.

The way we hunger.
