PART 1: WHAT'S FOR DINNER?
Calling all teens hungry for real food and sustainable change! Do you like to eat? Do you like to cook? Why does it matter where our food comes from? What does this have to do with eco-justice? Help answer these questions during this field trip to a nearby farm, and team up with your peers and elders to prepare a zero-waste local foods group meal. With support from the Detroit Food Justice Task Force, People’s Kitchen, and Red Mesa Cuisine, this community cooking workshop will encourage us all to embrace the radical notion that we are what we eat! Bring your interest in culinary arts; and, come ready to share your attitudes, beliefs, and values around food … and food choices.
PARTS 2 & 3: FARM TO TABLE DINNER & SOLAR-POWERED OPEN LENS / OPEN MIC
Calling all teens hungry for real food and real talk. Feeling a lil' under-nourished by mainstream media’s promotion of fat, sugar, and fossil fuels? Join us for dinner at a local farm and share your vision of food justice media. This community kitchen workshop and open lens/mic event (powered by Green Guerrillas’ solar-powered veggie diesel bus) will encourage us all to re-define corporate food narratives and embrace the radical notion that we are what we eat! Bring your interest in culinary arts, a healthy appetite, and your favorite eco media (artwork, digital pics and stories, performance pieces, videos) to this unique forum of show and tell.
