All about the squash: sisters of the milpa book launch
February 9, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Archives in Common is thrilled to invite you to the CUNY launching of “Las hermanas de la milpa: comienza con la calabaza / The sisters of the milpa: it begins with the squash,” a bilingual and indigenous (Mixteco) cookbook by chef Natalia Méndez of La Morada restaurant.
Like other initiatives devised by La Morada Restaurant, this book seeks to disseminate indigenous knowledges and practices, and at the same time to conceptualize and expand the ways of doing mutual aid. The book is also, in and of itself, an art project: it includes illustrations by poet, artist and activist Marco Saavedra, photos by photographer Camila Falquez, and has been beautifully designed by Lucky Risograph.
The book launch will include short reflections by all of those who were involved in the making of this collaborative book. Reception to follow with food by La Morada. The book will be for sale at discounted cost. You can also order the book here.
