FEATURED PROJECT

Migratory Table

Cocina CoLaboratorio’s Migratory Table  is a participatory space that understands the table and cooking as practices of situating oneself in the world.

Through the intertwined gestures of naming, cooking, and remediating, workshop participants are invited to share food, memories, and absences: invoking ingredients that are no longer available; living yet undocumented (“un-inherited”) recipes; transformed territories; and the forms of resistance that emerge alongside these shifts.

Coming to Los Angeles in September 2026.
