Step into the world of Chicano art and activism with Maite Gomez-Rejón of ArtBites in this hands-on cooking class inspired by Radical Histories: Chicano Prints from the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

Explore how Chicano artists have used printmaking as a tool for resistance, community engagement, and the reclamation of cultural identity.  Drawing inspiration from the exhibition's works, you'll delve into the rich tapestry of Chicano culinary traditions. Learn to prepare dishes that have been symbols of cultural pride and community resilience. The menu may include Elote (Mexican Street Corn) and Chicken Tinga Tacos.

As part of the class, participants will contribute their own recipes, family stories, or reflections inspired by the workshop. These contributions will be compiled into a community cookbook bridging art and history.
