The Edible Archive: Palestinian Memory and Resistance

Discover the rich and diverse history of Palestine reflected in its cuisine, as four leading Palestinian food and drink pioneers share stories of longevity, resilience and hope. They explore how food and drink are used by Palestinians to celebrate culture, to show love and care and to also remember and rebuild.

With Madees Khoury from Taybeh Beer Company Stories, the first female brewmaster in the region; Vivien Sansour, who set up the Palestine Heirloom Seed Library and is breathing life back into seeds that once faced extinction; and leading Palestinian chefs / cookbook authors Fadi Kattan and Sami Tamimi, who promote their cuisine throughout the world. Chaired by food writer Angela Zaher, this event discusses the role food and drink plays in a flourishing Palestinian culture and identity.
