Return to Koshary: A Meal of North African Diaspora

Our ‘Fooooood and What’s In Between’ annual programme continues this summer with a series of meals and public events organised by artist and curator Jessica El Mal and A.MAL projects. Join us for a dinner exploring the North African diasporic experience – to hold space, eat, and return.

Koshary is described as ‘food of the poor’, cross-cultural at its core and with debated origins that stem from Egypt’s occupied past. Against the backdrop of old Cairo cinema and Omm Kalthoum, this event will invite guests to eat, connect, process, shake it out and share third culture experiences of longing and loss – and return.

The sacred act of cooking and eating is a touchstone of female solidarity and community in North Africa, and we honour these practices this evening. *This is a women-only event, and we wholeheartedly include anyone who identifies as such within it. If you have any questions don't hesitate to get in touch.

This event is free with limited spaces. Book your place here!
