Food Memories of Latin America
October 3, 2020 @ 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Come share your memories about food, migration, and identity in the Latinx community! Food represents more than nutritional needs; it evokes memories and sentiments while increasing trust and community. It generates deep human connections and interactions. In this conversación entre vecinos, we will explore a different dimension of Latinidad through the oral histories of our panelists’ lived experiences.
