Food-sharing is an act deeply connected to our ideas of home, nourishment and community.

Join us for two special ‘An Evening with…’ style live events, with home-made food sharing and conversations with artists Selina Thompson and Toni-Dee Paul (Fri 14th) and Sonia Sandhu (Sat 15th).

Hosted by Xavier de Sousa and video work directed by Richard Warburton, Slow Cooking Live is a live podcast-video art experiment, inviting artists who have a history of migration and also work with food-making and food-sharing as creative tools. Together, they will spend the day buying food from local markets and independent shops, cook together and then travel to Theatre in the Mill to share it all with you.

Cooking recipes that are relevant to the guests’ own cultural background (or their favourite foods), Selina, Toni-Dee and Sonia will discuss the origins of the food, the impact on their communities and how they have incorporated it into their creative practices.

This is a live event, and you are welcome to interact with it, to get up and eat food, but please be mindful that this is also a recording going on.

This event will be broadcast live on HowlRound Theatre Commons website
