Creative Capital

Description

The Cooking Show con Karimi y Comrades: Diabetes of Democracy uses the framework of a live cooking show to engage audiences on the subject of diabetes in communities of color. Incorporating research by health and culinary professionals as well as Karimi’s own family history, the project consists of residencies in immigrant communities in six U.S. cities. Each of these two-to-four-week residencies includes a live performance as well as cooking and storytelling workshops. The Cooking Show con Karimi y Comrades will result in a cookbook derived from the performances and workshops.
