Kitchen Table: Ode to Asparagus

Ode to Asparagus is performative food encounter that focuses on how movement of food cultures around the Mediterranean geographies influences the food on our table today. The performance is based on researching and remaking ancient recipes from 10th Century Abbasid Empire, major cities such as Baghdad, Cairo, Damascus. These historical explorations of food, taste, and trade give us exciting ways of looking at the politics and practices of food-making on our tables today.
