Come Eat With Me
Come Eat With Me is a 110-minute performance piece by Sri Vamsi Matta which explores the relationship between caste and food and culminates in sharing a meal together. Focusing on Dalit relationships to food, the piece begins with personal stories and oral histories around food in Vamsi’s household and community and is peppered with existing literature and academic writing around the multilayered, multi-flavored nuances between caste and food. The piece unpacks questions of oppression and solidarity, grief and joy, and the everyday victories of the human spirit in the face of structural injustices. The event will be held at Brooks Commons, Cannon Chapel at Emory University on February 29, 2024 at 5 p.m. For more details, email: harshita.kamath@emory.edu
