 An Afternoon with Esperanza Spalding & PRISMID at Native Arts & Cultures Foundation

Curated and Written by Chef Ramon Shiloh

“A Black & Indigenous Futurisms Menu”

For our May 16th, 2024 event

CHEF/ARTIST STATEMENT:

I am part of an important movement, to shed light on an ever present conflict in the United States through food. Community has been disconnected through dissonance and corrupt ideologies, which upend healthy relationships of color, gender, and racial harmony.

I am part of a Community to create a Sacred Space for educators, artists, horticulturists, musicians, and cultural workers. The aim is to evaluate and heal those in dire need of interventionist care and direction.

Im with PRISMID SANCTUARY.

Co-founded by Esperanza Spalding and Mick Rose.

I’d like to thank my foraging mentor @cowlitzgatherer for providing some of the best ingredients for this event and in May. Your wisdom and knowledge of invasive and native (plant) species, are a blessing.

Be on the look out for another post related to our foraged species for this event, and in May.
