Exhibition Opening Reception: Black Foodways
Description
The Sheridan Libraries host an opening reception for its new exhibition, "Black Foodways: A Culinary Diaspora", organized in conjunction with the Center for Africana Studies' symposium "A Taste of Black Freedom." There will be brief welcome remarks and refreshments.
Featuring materials drawn largely from the private collections of W. Paul Coates, founder and director of Black Classics Press, and Toni Tipton-Martin, editor of Cook's Country magazine and an award-winning cookbook author, "Black Foodways: A Culinary Diaspora" explores how cookbooks by Black authors serve not only as crucial repositories of African and African American culinary traditions, but also as sites of food innovation and cultural transformation.
The exhibition runs February 9 through April 17 at the Milton S. Eisenhower Library (M-level).
