Recipes made Radical: Kitchentales of Survival and Resistance

The kitchen has long been a site of both nourishment and defiance —a space where survival, culture, and activism converge. This talk explores how food serves as a powerful tool of resistance, from the resourceful cooking of enslaved and oppressed peoples to the current and impending food injustice movements that call to questions folks understandings of a tariff and bird flu. Blending activism, and personal storytelling, Radical Recipes highlights the ways in which marginalized communities have used food to preserve identity, sustain resistance, and build collective power.
