How do we define a “sour relationship”? Join us for a round table conversation and open mic addressing the metaphor of sour. We will talk about our experiences of relationships with friends and lover having gone sour, or how to avoid that in the future. Think the sour taste of global politics, or how relationships between governments effect us all.
Ryan Clayton, Wallis Cheung and Janine Khawand will facilitate a “going sour” button making workshop.
Jevijoe Vitug and guest artist Juan Lazaro will cook variations of “Sinigang”, a popular Filipino sour stew and give a presentation about the imperialist/colonialist relationship between the Philippines and US that “has gone sour” for a long time.
Juan Lazaro is an immigrant painter whose work deals with Philippine colonial past and his strict Catholic upbringing. Learning Filipino comfort food from both his grandmother and mother, Lazaro has a passion for cooking and learned the craft and trade of cooking professionally from his friend Chef Koko at San Francisco’s Izikaya Rintaro. where his experience transitioned in working as a cook in a Filipino restaurant in San Jose, California. Juan Lazaro holds an MFA in Painting from Hunter College, New York and currently teaches drawing at William Paterson University in Wayne, New Jersey.
