Community Kitchen Dinners:
Recipes for Survivance
June 1 (Palestine) + June 15 (Iran)
@ Marz Community Brewing | 3630 Iron Street, Chicago
Two seatings each night:
5:30 - 7:00 PM + 7:30-9:00 PM
Join us for a series of community kitchen dinners, made from recipes for survivance, storytelling, and solidarity.
Survivance, as writer Gerald Vizenor explains, is an active sense of presence over absence, the continuance of stories, and the refusal of mere victimhood; in those dinners we are showing cultures that practice survivance through the continuance of recipes from their homeland gathering around a dinner table.
Inspired by artist projects responding to the imperial occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan including Enemy Kitchen and Combat Kitchen, Community Kitchen Dinners will feature conversations around food, memory, migration from regions the US/Israel empire is currently devastating.
