Event still on- recent NYC flooding has not effected the venue.
Limited spots available.
We’ll hear from Anna Huang of Mott Street Girls, a New York-based organization working to make Chinese American history and culture more accessible to the public. We’ll also hear from Lisa Kyung Gross of League of Kitchens (NYC), who produces cooking classes that build cross-cultural understanding, increase access to traditional cooking knowledge, and provide meaningful, well-paid employment for immigrants. We’ll also be joined by Crystal Díaz of El Pretexto (PR), a project that began as a local revitalization effort in a small mountain town following Hurricane Maria, and later transformed into a lodge and business connecting visitors with communities.
The panel will be moderated by Samir Patel, Editor-in-Chief of Atlas Obscura and overseeing editor of Atlas’s decolonization project, which seeks to disentangle travel media from a Western perspective.
Join us early for a pre-panel reception featuring local food and drink vendors curated by Gastro Obscura and League of Kitchens.
🎉 There will also be a prize draw for a trip.
