Book Launch: Lentil Space. Recipes From Artists’ Homes

Book launch organized by Mophradat and The Kitchen, at Globe Aroma, Brussels

For the occasion of the book launch, Mophradat invites Sara Abu Ghazal and Shayma Nader to share recipes from their own memories and tell the stories they recall. Sara is a Palestinian feminist writer from Beirut. Her debut novel, The Dreams of Ayn Ara (Khan Aljanub, 2022), reflects her longstanding interest in feminist storytelling and oral history as strategies for processing the enormity of the Nakba. Sara is currently working on a second novel, and also writes regularly in Arabic for news and comment outlets. She lives in Europe and is obsessed with fermentation and forests. Shayma, one of the book’s contributors, is a Palestinian researcher whose work focuses on anti-colonial, anti-disciplinary and land-centered imaginaries and practices. She is currently a PhD candidate in artistic research at ARIA, Sint Lucas School of Arts (KdG) and the University of Antwerp.

Co-editor of the book Reem Shilleh is a member of The Kitchen — a space in continuous motion, always in the making, formed and operating in Brussels, hosting collective study and research and also group projects, collectives, and persons whose work is concerned with exploring methodologies of collective knowledge making, dissemination, and discussion.
