VIRTUAL LAUNCH | Canadian Culinary Imaginations - Shelley Boyd and Dorothy Barenscott

RSVP: ArtsEvents@kpu.ca

Join Shelley Boyd and Dorothy Barenscott to celebrate the launch of their new edited collection, Canadian Culinary Imaginations. The contributors will reflect on how food has shaped their imaginations and share their favourite edibles and recipes. The event is hosted by Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

ABOUT THE BOOK

This collection brings together academics, writers, artists, journalists, and curators to discuss how food mediates our experiences of the nation and the world. Together, the contributors reveal that culinary imaginations reflect and produce the diverse bodies, contexts, places, communities, traditions, and environments that Canadians inhabit, as well as their personal and artistic sensibilities. Arranged in four thematic sections - Indigeneity and foodways; urban, suburban, and rural environments; cultural and national lineages; and subversions of categories - the essays in this collection indulge a growing appetite for conversations about creative engagements with food and the world at large.
