The Politics of the Plate: How Food Defines Culture, Resilience, and Power

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Through the lens of their unique perspectives and expertise, Anna and Kate will uncover the broader implications of food as a tool of both preservation and power. Join us for an evening of thoughtful exploration, where the simple act of eating reveals itself as a powerful lens on history, identity, and the resilience of cultures under threat.
