About

BRACIA is a London-based pop-up by chefs Karol Adamiak and Barclay Bram that creates imaginative events with a focus on food. They collaborate with artists of different disciplines – be it graphic designers, photographers, set designers, florists etc. - creating comprehensive gastronomic experiences. BRACIA means brothers in Polish. Karol and Barclay connected through their Polish heritage and an interest in exploring Polish culture and cuisine. Yet, now they develop ideas at the intersection of their respective journeys as immigrants and second-generation diaspora, drawing inspirations from across different cultures and art forms.

Karol is a philosophy graduate who transitioned towards food and fashion industries after leaving university. He is a chef at Plates restaurant and assistant to DeadHungry. Barclay is a writer and former chef. He trained at the Barbary in London and has worked with Andrew Clarke and most recently for Bao. His food writing has appeared in the collection London Feeds Itself and for magazines like the Economist, Granta, Vittles, Vice and elsewhere.
