Where Food, Memory, Art, and Theatre Converge.Popula Dabba, the Telugu word for “spice box” evokes a vessel that holds not only spices but also memories, stories and inherited traditions. In this three-hour storytelling workshop, participants are invited to open their own “spice boxes” exploring how food can evoke memory, identity and creative expression.

Facilitated by interdisciplinary theatre artist Sri Vamsi Matta, the session combines reflection, conversation, and creative exercises drawn from theatre and visual storytelling. It offers a supportive space to share personal experiences, uncover sensory memories, and experiment with transforming them into narrative, performance, or visual form. Through the simple act of remembering through food, Popula Dabba becomes a collective exploration of how our everyday histories can shape powerful stories.
This workshop is open to artists, creatives, community members and anyone curious. Sri Vamsi is visiting Australia from his home country of India for a 6-week residency, and Platform Arts is proud to host this event as part of our Salon public program series.
