BYOF (Bring Your Own Future), A Virtual Potluck
Thursday, March 25

Food often serves as a through line connecting our past to our present, can it therefore be used to tell us our future? In the tradition of looking back to help us move forward (sankofa), can we rediscover our foodways to help
us dream of healthier futures and heal our past? Part-cooking class, part-world-building, join activists Charlene Carruthers and Tia Oso and artist Ashley Jane Lewis in this event to unlock new futures through food (and eating) inspired by the Black diaspora. Curated by Intelligent Mischief.
