Afro-Latin Culinary Memory, Power, Resistance & Survival (AfroMundo Festival)

For Afro diasporas, food remains one of the most effective means of resistance, of cultural retention, and innovation. The foods of Afro peoples continue to incorporate ingredients of ancestral dishes and to preserve African ways of preparing ingredients native to the Americas. Presenters will discuss the African roots of various dishes and defy stereotypes of what “soul” food is.

Food pickup at Three Sisters Kitchen from 4-6 pm; panel discussion at National Hispanic Cultural Center at 7:30.
