The rhythm of the street

Talking of photography, the film of the FEAST event is now up on the FEAST website. Alan Stockdale, Leith photographer and film-maker, fused images of Shanghai and Edinburgh with music inspired by the making of Dim Sum (made at Out of the Blue as we reported back in August).
You can enjoy film and music and read some intriguing stories from Chinese and Scottish communities by visiting the FEAST blog. The event was created by Kimho Ip a musician and composer (he runs intercultural workshops in Leith) who believes food is the vital link between all people no matter what language we speak.

Kimho and the rest of the FEAST team are now working on a multi-media, multicultural event, Dialogues of Wind and Bamboo, which will take place in the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh next summer as part of the China Now in Scotland programme for 2008.
