Tarte-ography Workshop

Chatham, N.Y.— On Sunday, June 23, at 2 p.m., PS21, in partnership with Villa Albertine, presents ‘Food Cultures: a Conversation.’ What does the food we eat say about us and the world we live in, and what stories can we tell through food? How has the way we eat evolved, and what will our food future look like?

Join Villa Albertine and PS21 for an afternoon of conversations reflecting on some of the most urgent economic, social, and environmental issues of our time through the prism of food. The event will feature two panel discussions, one on the intersection of food and migration, and the other on the future of sustainable farming.

Following the discussions, there will be an interactive pastry workshop by Savinien Caracostea, which explores the multi-cultural urbanization of New York City through flavors, textures, and patterns. Participants will collaboratively create a large pastry map using various creams, toppings, and sauces to abstractly interpret the evolution of the city’s diverse cultures and neighborhoods. Building on the conversations of the day, the workshop will conclude with the consumption of the intricately composed pastry cityscape, followed by a dance party. 

The event is on Sunday, June 23, at 2 p.m. at PS21 at 2980 NY Route 66 in Chatham, N.Y. Admission is a suggested donation of $15 which includes complimentary beverages and cheese. Youth are admitted for free. More information can be found online.
