Archive of flavors - Zine workshop on culinary memories seasoning our lives

This workshop shared at The Bleed aims to create an intimate and collective space for the exploration of memory and culture through food as a symbolic and political element. We invite participants to share an inherited recipe - the one that connects them with their roots, their grandparents, their personal history or simply "home" as a feeling and transform it into an editorial piece within a collective fanzine.

Cooking these recipes is not only preparing food; it is reactivating memories reviving presences and defying oblivion. In this creative act each person can reinterpret what it means to come home or what feels like home to them. No matter where they are or what cultural mix they come from. "Home" doesn't necessarily have to be a place it can also be a smell, a colour, a sound etc.

Through visual, narrative or experimental language, we will build together an archive of food knowledge that resists cultural homogenization, celebrates diversity and values the local, the intimate and the communal. The result will be a collaborative fanzine as a poetic and culinary testimony of what it means to feed ourselves from memory and love.
