Migration on the Menu is an evening of conversation and exchange, led by art historian and curator Manique Hendriks, with artists Benjamin Li and Sankrit Kulmanochawong.
Together, they explore how food connects people and cultures. In their work, Li and Kulmanochawong approach food as a way to tell stories about identity and memory, showing how these stories can create space for tangible change.
From Chinese restaurants in the Netherlands to reimagined dishes like stamppot infused with Thai ingredients, their stories reveal how recipes become pathways between personal histories and shared cultural spaces. Join us for an evening where stories simmer and cultures and flavors come together.
