THE KITCHEN
We have secured two shipping containers which have been refurbished and fitted with a kitchen area in one and seating in the other.
Run in food truck fashion, we are looking to showcase a modern take on street food. Al Riwaq has invited celebrated regional and local Bahraini chef's and concept's to run our "pop up kitchen" over The Nest 2016 weekends.

ANNEXES
The Annexes are site Interventions which explores the challenge of using an existing space, and interacting with it to add new layers of meaning. As part of our commitment to Public Art, we have created these spaces to add a critical eye to the areas that we have overlooked, breathing fresh life into abandoned spaces.
