Colonial Translocations of Plant and Taste: A Food Workshop

How has colonialism shaped global ecology and culinary traditions? In this workshop, Charlotte Ming and Yangkun Shi will explore the connections between colonial history, plant migration, and food practices. By tracing the journey of Robinia, we’ll see how European colonialism played a role in its spread across continents, influencing both ecosystems and culinary practices along the way.

Participants will take part in a collaborative process to prepare a northern Chinese recipe. Through this shared experience, we’ll explore the creativity and adaptability of communities that have incorporated new species into their food cultures as a practice of agency, reclamation, and healing.

*The workshop will take place on the demo station in Gropius Bau, which is open to public observation. The recipe will be vegetarian.
