When countries experience on-the-ground violent conflict, every facet of their culture is impacted, including their foodways: Displacement of families leads to loss of generational food knowledge and practices, razing of farmland leads to sudden and devastating crop loss, and food focus turns exclusively to survival rather than tradition and celebration. These effects ripple out infinitely, permanently changing these regions’ food landscape.
In our first dinner of our “Countries in Conflict” Cultural Food Traditions Project series, Ukraine’s hearty, flavorful, nourishing food traditions will be on display. Guests will enjoy a meal that is true to Ukrainian foodways today, and will learn directly from chef Anna Voloshyna about the history of Ukrainian food, the ways in which wars throughout history have changed how Ukrainians eat, and how today’s conflict is affecting the food system and culture. The conversation will also feature a focus on advocacy and humanitarian efforts making a difference in Ukraine today.
Join us for an evening of informative conversation, delicious food and drink, and dynamic connection as we open our Countries in Conflict dinner series.
