Celebrate Community, Food, Elders, and Storytelling on the anniversary of the start of the Korean War

Join us to participate in an intergenerational project that centers community empowerment and cultural memory. This day holds special meaning for Koreans in the diaspora because it marks the 72nd anniversary of the Korean War, a still unended conflict that continues to reverberate in and beyond the Peninsula. Food – specific dishes, as well as particular plants and seeds – embodies rich stories of how elders survived the armed conflict and its aftermath, and the memories they hope to share with younger generations. This event includes a panel discussion, reception and the opportunity to share your own food memories.
