FHS creative residence at Galerie Plato in Ostrava

In June the research collective Společné trávení (Dagmar Lorenz-Meyer with graduate students in gender studies and anthropology and Romani collaborator Emílie Horáčková) was selected for a weeklong creative residency at Galerie Plato in Ostrava where they hosted an open-air dinner for the community to showcase and disseminate their research with Romani cooking. The action is chronicled in A2 magazine which issued 19th June 2024.

In July, Lorenz-Meyer and Kateřina Holá (MA student in Anthropology) took some ingredients and recipes to the EASST/4S conference in Amsterdam where they experimented with ‘Tasting racial history, cooking for a liveable climate’ in the frame of a practical-theoretical action The Makings and Doings of Foodways in STS Research: Cooking, Tasting, Speculating with Care. The research will be further disseminated, together with Kristýna Trochtová (MA student in Gender Studies) at the 12th New Materialisms Conference in Maynooth, Ireland in a presentation titled ‘Intersectionality in the gut.’
