“The world begins at a kitchen table. No matter what, we must eat to live.”
– Joy Harjo, former United States Poet Laureate
Food is fundamental to both our lives and relationships. We organize our days around meals and relationships around gatherings that commemorate milestones. Whether these are the daily gatherings around the kitchen table, or the yearly traditions of holidays and celebrations, food is often the centerpiece of the day and what we serve matters. How does food connect you to community, family, and history? What food traditions do you and your community hold and why? How does food connect you to communities other than yours, building bridges at the table? Can food serve to build and maintain community?
Join Indiana Humanities on Thursday, Oct. 17, as we ask the question, “What’s your recipe for community?” during a special Unearthed-themed Chew on This. Sign up for one of six locations around the state where you’ll share a meal from a local restaurant and a fun, insightful conversation with other curious Hoosiers. Each table will be led by a knowledgeable facilitator, someone to help us grapple with questions about how food acts as a convener in our lives and relationships. Your ticket price includes your meal and an unforgettably engaging experience.
LOCATIONS | FACILITATORS
Conversations will take place at different locations around Indiana, all at 6pm local time. When selecting your ticket, please pay careful attention to the restaurant cuisine and your dietary preferences/restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, etc.). All locations will have these different dietary options available. Your ticket price includes a meal, non-alcoholic drinks, and tax and tip at one of the locations. Alcoholic drinks will be available for purchase directly from the restaurant. Refunds are not available after 72 hours in advance.
