This intimate, hands-on gathering brings together food, storytelling, and art to explore how everyday cooking carries memory, culture, and care.

Hosted in collaboration with Chef Lachelle Cunningham, who is featured in the Women With Taste exhibit, the evening centers on pot likker, a deeply nourishing broth rooted in Black food traditions and shaped by generations of ingenuity. Through a guided cooking demonstration, collaborative zine-making, and a shared family-style meal, participants will reflect on how food holds history and how those traditions continue to evolve.

Guests will rotate through a short cooking demo and a facilitated zine-making workshop before coming together for a communal meal and conversation. Throughout the evening, Chef Lachelle will weave personal storytelling with reflections on ancestry, creativity, and the role of food in sustaining individuals and communities.

This experience is designed to be welcoming, participatory, and reflective—an invitation to slow down, create, eat, and connect.
