Join artist Madhu Manipatruni for a creative, participatory workshop exploring connections between food, memory, and migration. Through storytelling we’ll reflect on how food evokes identity, belonging, and home. Participants are invited to bring a recipe with personal or cultural significance to share. Together we will create a simple pop-up book that captures memories of food, recipes and journeys.
