Book Tickets
This event explores the meaning of home through food, art and storytelling, in collaboration with London-based publisher Almas Art Foundation. Centred on the work of British-Sudanese food archivist Omer Al Tijani, the event brings together recipes, oral histories, and cultural narratives that preserve Sudan’s heritage.
The Sudanese Kitchen began as a long-term documentation project and website led by Omer Al Tijani, and developed into a landmark cookbook and cultural archive that collects over 100 recipes, contextual essays, and personal and field photographs to present Sudan’s culinary diversity.
A taste of Sudanese food will also be available for all attendees!
This special event will be hosted by Sherif Dhaimish.
