Roots, Rhythm and Recipes Event

Join us for this event which has been thoughtfully designed to showcase the rich diversity that exists within our community, offering an afternoon filled with delicious food, artistic expression and global music.

Attendees can enjoy a free taste of vibrant Caribbean flavours, and a professional henna artist will be on hand to showcase the beauty of henna, with guests invited to receive a henna design on the day.

As part of the event’s focus on sharing culture through food, there will also be a "Recipe Box" stationed in the Spark Atrium, encouraging everyone to contribute a favourite recipe. Whether it's a dish that holds special childhood memories or a recent culinary discovery, the aim is to gather recipes from across our community and compile them into a collective e-recipe book for all to enjoy. To keep the energy high, a DJ will be present, playing a mix of music inspired by different cultures around the world.

Dr. Shakiba Moghadam, Chair of the BIPOC Staff Network, warmly encourages all staff and students to attend the event, enjoy some delicious food, contribute a recipe, and immerse themselves in a celebration of culture and connection. The event will take place in the Spark Atrium and will run from 12pm to 4pm, allowing attendees to drop in at any time throughout the afternoon. 

This is a fantastic opportunity to come together as a community, celebrate our diverse backgrounds, and create meaningful connections through the universal language of food, music, and shared experiences.

We look forward to seeing you there!
