FABRIC Arts Festival – Across Aisles: Recetas de Casa with Evelyn Rydz
October 9 @ 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Following Comida Casera, the collective workshop presented earlier in Fall River, Evelyn Rydz returns with a new iteration of the project that moves from the communal table into the aisles of Portugalia Marketplace.
Developed from recipes and stories gathered through conversations at Comida Casera gatherings, Across Aisles: Recetas de Casa takes the form of a series of recipe-stories distributed throughout the supermarket. Imagined as a collective archive, each card brings together ingredients and instructions across generations and geographies to approach a recipe as more than a practical guide: it can also carry a story, a relationship, or a way of remembering home.
Visitors are invited to move through the aisles, discover and collect the cards among the products and ingredients that surround them. Taken away from the supermarket, the cards can enter other kitchens and homes, where the recipes can be cooked, shared, adapted, and given new meanings.
Comida Casera, by Evelyn Rydz
Since 2016, Comida Casera has brought together participants for multigenerational gatherings grounded in active listening and open exchange as a means of cultivating community across divides. Together, participants explore the ways migration, familial traditions, and environmental change shape our relationships to food, place, and belonging.
