Cuisine stands as a cornerstone of cultural identity, yet it's predominantly commercialized within the private market, unlike other artistic forms that receive backing from both public and philanthropic realms. This discrepancy largely stems from historical neglect of the invaluable contributions to American culinary heritage made by communities of the global majority, who have also endured land dispossession. Specifically, sustainable farming traditions rooted in African heritage, which are being reclaimed by Black communities, in their struggle to address disproportionate food insecurity.
Join Carlton Turner (Sipp Culture and National Black Food and Justice Alliance) and Kolu Zibgi (Zigbi Consulting and Southern Black Farmers Community-Led Fund) on Tuesday, June 4 at 2pm EDT for a discussion of the movement for Black cultural and economic self-determination in the South through land access, food production, and Black Southern cuisine and community.
This 90-minute webinar will include breakout discussions between members.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Live captioning will be available in English throughout the webinar. For additional accommodation requests, please contact GIA Program Manager Jaime Sharp, jaime@giarts.org, at least three (3) business days before the event.
