How Recipes Make Our Histories
Armenian Institute & FINDING LARGE MONUMENTS TO BE DESTROYED
25 Cheniston Gardens - London W8 6TG
A table full of ingredients. A room full of voices. Two different landscapes soaked in a past full of defiance and resistance. Two different women shaped by the world they did not want to inherit.
Armenians have dolmas. The Poles have their Gołąbki. The Armenian diaspora has been present in Poland for over 600 years. This workshop sets out to explore the culinary and cultural parallels between Poland and Armenia whilst hoping to build a community of migrant voices that understand that so often our past shapes the presence and informs…what we store in our kitchen cupboards.
This workshop is held in collaboration with FINDING LARGE MONUMENTS TO BE DESTROYED, a theatre installation piece created by Polish director Nastazja Domaradzka and British Armenian writer Abi Zakarian. Produced by Claire Gilbert, this piece imagines the meeting between the two artists’ grandmothers, whose lives have been shaped by invasions, war and Western interference. The piece travels throughout the UK, and hopefully beyond, to create a community held together by shared history as well as future hopes.
Join us to find out all about the connections between Polish and Armenian history.
