Tender Table: Food & Storytelling by Diana Khoi Nguyen, Ashley Toliver, & Amy Lam

Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA) 511 Northwest Broadway St, Portland, OR, United States

Tender Table is a storytelling platform for women, trans men, and nonbinary folks who are black, indigenous, or people of color. We seek out narratives about the sweet, savory, sour, and bitter relationships to food and its connections to identity, memory, and community. At Tender Table, all are welcome—expect to be immersed in stories, and sample delicious food prepared by the speakers. Diana Khoi Nguyen is the author of Ghost Of (Omnidawn). Ashley Toliver is the author of Spectra (Coffee House Press). Amy Lam is the John & Renee Grisham fellow at the University of Mississippi. Contact: Stacey Tran
