Chef's Kiss - Making Zines from Scratch

Location

entrance free, with registration

In this workshop, memories, flavours and stories about cooking are exchanged. The focus is on food as a unifying language - a way to show affection and care, independent of verbal language.

Between recipes, cooking techniques and personal anecdotes, zines are created to pass on and share knowledge and experiences.

How these contributions are realised - whether through writing, drawing, collage or other creative forms - is up to the participants. Participants are welcome to bring their own photos and other materials, and various materials will be made available on site for free experimentation.

In keeping with the theme, you are welcome to bring along your favourite snack(s)!

This workshop is exclusively for BIPoC* and aims to create an empowering space in which creative energy can be drawn upon and topics that move us can be explored.

Please register by email with your name, pronouns, whether you prefer English or German, and any other requests to chefskiss.zine@gmail.com
