Post-Colonial Hot-Ones is a panel series centered around sharing meals, ideas, and experiences by community members and artists. The second installment of this series will focus on institutional accountability (critique), sustainability (resilience), and transparency (censorship). These discussions will evolve by sharing communal knowledge, stories, cultural practices and recipes for dishes/sauces. The event will include participation from Michael Rakowitz and a number of Toronto-based artists, and unfolds as a series of talks/presentations by these artists/educators who will each cook a meal to sharet with audiences. This iteration is presented in collaboration between SAVAC and OCAD University: Faculty of Graduate Studies, Office of Research & Innovation, and Public Visualization Lab.
The screening is part of a three-part program that includes a screening of recent works and studio visits with emerging artists. For more information about the full program, visit: savac.net/recipes-finished-and-unfinished/
