Queer Recipes Archive: an edible theatre performance-workshop

About

Queer Recipes Archive is an interactive workshop-performance that explores who defines the “traditional” version of a dish, and whose experiences its recipe leaves out. As a reimagined version is performed and prepared live, we trace how its ingredients and techniques have changed and acquired meaning through migration, labour, gender and power. To queer a recipe is to question the instructions inherited from it, letting our own bodies and appetites change what the dish can become. Participants will get to create a double-layered zine in response to what they have experienced, rewriting the recipe through their own memories and desires, contributing to a growing archive of stories told through food. All materials will be provided, and everyone will be able to take their zines home. Open to adults aged 18 and over, especially queer and trans folks, and to anyone interested in the social and cultural dimensions of food and its possibilities for sensory storytelling. No cooking or writing experience is needed! Free to attend, but registration via DICE is essential: https://dice.fm/partner/tickets/event/rye79q-queer-recipes-archive-5th-nov-chats-palace-london-tickets?dice_id=10670055.
