    A rare opportunity to dine with Gilane Tawadros and Zineb Sedira, a leading figure in British Conceptual Art. 

     

    The winning bidder and three guests will get the chance to enjoy a tour of Whitechapel Gallery led by Gilane Tawadros, followed by a multi-course lunch with both Gilane Tawadros and Zineb Sedira in a private dining room at Townsend, Whitechapel Gallery’s critically acclaimed restaurant.


    Zineb Sedira recently represented France at the 59th Venice Biennale, for which her pavilion Dreams Have No Titles was awarded special mention by the jury. Over the past fifteen years, Sedira’s work has enriched the debate around the concepts of modernism, modernity and its manifestations, and has raised the awareness of artistic expression in North Africa. Her work draws upon her personal history and close connection to Algeria, France and the UK to explore ideas of identity, gender, environment and collective memory. Sedira’s work was on view at the De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill on Sea, UK, until 8th January 2023 and has been exhibited around the world.


    Townsend restaurant has a modern British dining room with an evolving menu of creatively constructed seasonal dishes, as well as freshly baked bread and pastries, and wines by the glass. The restaurant is named for Charles Harrison Townsend, the architect of the Grade II listed gallery.


    In January 2021, the restaurant was awarded a Michelin plate, recognising the quality of their cooking when the restaurant managed to open during 2020.

     

    Terms and conditions: The winning bidder is entitled to bring three guests to lunch, which includes a cocktail of your choice, a three course meal and wine for the table. The meal is redeemable between January 2023 and January 2024, to be arranged at a mutually convenient time via Whitechapel Gallery.
