The ghost pop band Bitter Party performs, reads, and discusses Ghost Pop, a book of stories that honors the unheard sounds that inspire the bands songs and pays tribute to spirits from distant times and places related to their personal and family history. The event will feature a sonic-gastronomical collaboration with food-based artist Genevieve Erin O’Brien.
As a space of belonging for geographically, culturally and socially diverse constituencies, we explore the inclusive culture of food and how it transcends conventional systems of power. Breaking Bread is an opportunity to consider our coexistence through food, find shared connections and practices and hold spaces within them to thrive.
