Tales From The Table is an innovative community art project that uses culinary

traditions to explore and celebrate the rich narratives connecting diasporic communities

of color. Through community events, participants will engage in meaningful discussions

about their relationships with food, culture, and identity, weaving artistic connections

through everyday objects and shared oral histories. Tales From The Table catalyzes

sustained cultural dialogue and social cohesion, addressing gentrification, racial

tension, and cultural erasure and creating enduring spirits that continue the

conversation beyond the project's duration. Join us in this exploration, solidarity, and

healing journey as we highlight and honor our diaspora's shared histories and futures.

This project is sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of

the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by the Brooklyn Arts

Council (BAC), and is fiscally sponsored by the New York Foundation for the Arts.
