🌶️The Bratislava City Museum, in cooperation with the Bratislava City Council & City-run center LOOM, invites you to the community event (NOT) YOUR SPICES.
🌶️The aim of this event is to challenge stereotypical ideas about people with foreign backgrounds. Our intention is to create a space where communities can shape the program themselves and share their own stories and narratives in their own voices. These stories are important, yet often overlooked and/or reduced. Together, we will actively listen to one another, learn from each other, foster collective respect, enjoy, eat & dance.
🌶️The programme includes:
✨ an opening presentation with
@chefshreyo called Our Spices: Why is it important to talk about spices? How spices shaped our shared histories.✨ Reading fairy tales in native languages (japanesse, farsi & other). ✨Short discussion with
@booksandtravelman in collaboration with students from
@lightfifuk about how the liberal western discourse on minority rights is harmful to local communities around the world.
We will close the event with the blend of traditional, latin and club music in the museum’s courtyard. In addition, you can look forward to traditional international food and refreshing drinks.
Event languages: English & other
Event admission: free of charge
