The great folk at Fondita Mestiza – the Ringsend based cultural project that involves art, food and workshops – are hosting a pop up in Temple Bar Gallery on Oct 25th entitled “This is not authentic mexican food: Immersive experience with a four course menu of Mexican dishes shaped by migration”.
It’ll be an immersive installation that weaves food, art, and migration to question ideas of “authenticity” and celebrate mestizaje—cultural mixing—as a fertile ground of crossings, negotiations, and affections.
The experience features a four-course tasting menu showing how dishes called “Mexican” are shaped by flows of people, ingredients, and techniques, with dishes not usually found in Dublin.
Each guest takes home a poster pressed on a tortilla press, shifting a domestic tool into an artistic act.
Sounds tasty and fun.
