ABOUT THE EVENT:
The Evening of Dreaming is one of Centro Hispano of Dane County (Centro)’s annual signature events. The event is focused on showcasing the diversity of our Latino cultures in thought-provoking and whimsical ways. Now in its 6th year, the Evening of Dreaming is an important cultural event for the community -- in past years we have hosted award winning author Reyna Grande, cutting-edge filmmaker Philip Rodriguez, local artists and chefs for a Pop-Up exhibition, and the popular band Las Cafeteras. This year, we invite you to participate in the Decolonizing Dinner. Join us as we bring together chefs, food lovers and activists who are calling into question the food we see and eat as we attempt to provoke a conversation about the colonization of food and food pathways . This interactive virtual event will provide the opportunity for you to cook alongside our chefs while listening to and participating in a candid conversation about food appropriation, colonialism and activism in the context of native culture. The featured ingredient of dinner will be Zea mays (maize or corn).
Thanks to our sponsors:
