MAIZ: Culinary and Cultural Resilience

FREE
Join us for the “We the People” free public program series on the third Thursday evening of each month.
Curated by Mi Centro, this program will explore the rich cultural significance of Maiz (corn) as a foundational ingredient in Latine communities. The program features conversations with local culinary experts who share their insight on the integral role that Maiz plays in their cooking and community identity. From its origin in the indigenous culture in Mesoamerican and modern kitchens, Maiz is more than just an ingredient—it is a symbol of resilience, tradition, and cultural pride.
Mi Centro is a community-based non-profit that works with the Latino and Indigenous native families through our educational programs, crisis intervention, family outreach services, arts & culture programming, and advocacy efforts that concern our families and our community.
