Are you familiar with the cuisine from the region? What does it mean to experience such cuisine in a city-state such as Singapore? While South Asian cuisine might be synonymous with Tamil cuisine in the minds of some Singaporeans, a closer look at the food that is cooked in our kitchens, appears on our menus and eventually served on our tables will reveal a network of origins far more wide-ranging, complex and intertwined than we ever could have imagined. In this workshop led by Dr Pallavi Narayan, a 2023 Jalan Besar Fellow at Sing Lit Station, participants will engage with the nuances of identity and belonging that naturally arise when South Asians make their home in Singapore. By exploring food stories that emerge from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Afghanistan and the Maldives, this workshop will have you embed these narratives in cuisine that is already in the process of evolving and transforming itself as we speak.Attendees will be invited to submit to an anthology tentatively titled Food Migrants: South Asia in Singapore, to be edited by Dr Pallavi as part of her ongoing research. Please bring along writing materials, including pen and paper (preferably on a hard-back notebook). Tickets are $5 with a refundable deposit.------------ 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫:𝐃𝐫.
