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.
This workshop is intended to create an empowerment space for BIPoC* in which creative energy can be drawn and topics that move people can be explored.
*Black people, indigenous people and people of colour
