Belluard Bollwerk Workshop
Making a meal for people you care for often entails a process of dreaming up a dish (or several dishes), shopping for the right ingredients, perhaps going to a special shop where you know that the produce will be especially good. Or you might go out of your way to buy something you know that the person you care for will enjoy. Their joy when eating, is your joy, it feeds your soul as much as it nurtures theirs. Outside of the capitalist economy and feminist calls for freedom from the kitchen, how can we account for the labour of love in making food? And what about the intangible knowledge passed on through generations, the connections that food has to seasons, flavours, nutrition, the tricks and the secrets of making good food? What would happen to all of these if we no longer take time to make food?
In this two-day workshop, Samah Hijawi invites you to gather, cook and share a meal while exploring the language of love, care and nurture embedded in making food. Get your aprons and be ready to collectively cook a feast.

The workshop will take place over two days. On the first day, Samah will invite you to share stories about food and to draw together. On the second day, you will cook and share a meal together. The workshop is open to everyone, no pre-knowledge required. It will be held in English. It would be great if you could be there on both days.
