Due to incredibly popular demand, we have added a second seating for Dinners of the Past: Feminist Food, Feminist Art!
Inspired by Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party, this meal will select four of the incredible women featured in the original 1970's work, and recreate dishes from each of their respective time periods, creating an edible timeline of feminist history.
Women to be featured include Sappho (Ancient Greece), Eleanor of Aquitaine (early Medieval France/England), Christine de Pizan (Medieval Italy/France), and Sojourner Truth (Antebellum South/Civil War America).
Each course will dive into the personal history of the featured woman and elaborate on the status of women in that period, as well as her specific contributions to the fight for female equality. Diners can expect dishes like oysters with cumin sauce, stuffed capon, and a helmeted cock. Beer and wine are included.
Future Dinners of the Past programs will be held on August 22, September 20, October 18, andNovember 15. Stay tuned for further details!
