Lunch and Learn: Decolonizing Philanthropy in the Food System with Suparna

April 27, 2022 @ 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT

Starting in March 2022, decolonial educator and immigrant mother, Suparna Kudesia (also an FSLN Network Weaver and the Co-director of the Cooperative Food Empowerment Directive, a.k.a CoFED) will be leading an informal “Lunch & Learn” conversation to discuss ways in which we can decolonize philanthropy in the food system. More info here.

Register here!

The Lunch & Learns will bring together FSLN members in an informal, chill, relaxed setting over lunch to chat about decolonizing philanthropy in the food system. We hope that by participating you’ll have a place to engage in dynamic conversation about capital in the food system, hear from a diversity of perspectives, and deepen your connections and relationships with FSLN members.

 

  • Optional prereading: https://www.whitesupremacyculture.info/
    • This will help give us a common understanding of the concepts of decoloniality and racial capitalism in the food system
    • We will explore different aspects of white supremacy culture (coloniality) in the food system and discuss antidotes to these (decolonizing approach) in our work in the food system
  • Every session will begin with a grounding exercise with talking about food (this will also be a space to share and tinker with fun recipes and our stories about food)
  • Through the telling of stories and sharing of food-based rituals, we will begin having informal conversations about the ways in which coloniality infiltrates our food system and ways in which we can disrupt them
  • There will be a running Google Drive of resources provided to participants to enhance the learning experience

We’ll hold space twice a month for these conversations, come as you can! Register here.

  • Wednesdays, March 16 and 30 from 1-2pm CST
  • Wednesdays, April 13 and 27 from 1-2pm CST
  • Wednesdays, May 11 and 25 from 1-2pm CST
