Join us this Black History Month for a powerful gathering exploring and celebrating Black history, food, and innovative solutions that amplify food justice and community resilience. Through storytelling, art, and dialogue, we’ll showcase and honour Black culinary traditions, uplift Black voices, confront food inequities, and imagine collective paths toward Black food sovereignty.
All are welcome to attend and take part in this event. Honouring those who are observing Ramadan - we will have food to break fast and prayers area on site.
