Join us for our next iteration of A.R.T.'s thematic conversation about archives and food with a webinar presented by artist and curator Suzanne Zoe Joskow who will discuss her ongoing project The Community Cookbook Archive. Consisting of over 400 Los Angeles-based community cookbooks that span 3 centuries, the Archive is an evolving, food-based tapestry of LA stories. Joskow will give an overview of the collection and discuss the books as both aesthetic objects and primary source documents, capturing important and often overlooked local histories. She will also invite conversation around what it means to have an "archival art practice."
