Artist April Bey: Chef Panel Discussion + The Atlantican Feud

A conversation at the intersection of food, art and cultural storytelling sets the stage for a collaborative culinary experience at The Underline Plaza. Taking place Saturday, April 18, the program begins with a panel featuring artist-in-residence April Bey alongside Akwasi Brenya-Mensa and Bahamian culinary collaborators, exploring the creative and cultural influences behind The Atlantican Fewd Happening.

The discussion examines how history, identity and imagination inform both visual art and culinary practice, offering insight into the conceptual framework behind the afternoon’s featured experience. Following the panel, attendees can take part in The Atlantican Fewd Happening: Waiting in Line for Hot Patty, an interactive food event that blends narrative, flavor and performance elements.

Held in an outdoor setting along The Underline, the event invites participants to engage with artists and chefs in a casual, open-air environment. The Underline Plaza is located near the Douglas Road Metrorail station and is fully accessible, with nearby transit and parking options available.
