About this Event
🫒 Preservation Workshop: Syrian Traditions of Olive Oil & Fermentation Preservation is a practice of memory.✨ Hosted by SVA in collaboration with Grey Area Collective (@wearegreyareacollective) and Lammeh (@lammeh.nyc). In Syria, families learned to stretch sunlight through the cold months — turning olives, herbs, and vegetables into small acts of resilience.
This workshop is an invitation to do the same: to hold what nourishes us, to learn from ancestral genius, and to preserve more than food — to preserve care, culture, and connection.
In this workshop, we’ll explore two timeless Syrian methods of preservation: • Using Fat (Olive Oil) – the lifeblood of Syrian cuisine. • Using Bacteria (Fermentation) – the invisible ally that transforms flavor.
