With artist Mirna Bamieh
Sunday, April 14, 16:00 - 18:00

The Edible Wild Plants Table is the result of a research trip in the mountainous regions of Palestine, carried by artist and cook Mirna Bamieh in the wild plants blooming period from mid- January until the end of February 2019. Bamieh’s research focused on identifying the names, forms, locations and availability of wild plants in Palestine’s nature.

We will gather on the Palestinian Museum’s terrace on a Spring’s eve for a participatory research table for 70 people, to taste and learn about the dishes that are part of Palestinian food practices connected to the land and what the land has to offer. Palestinian dishes that are now subject to erasure and forgetfulness. This table will also provide us with space for contemplation and reflection on social, environment and cultural practices and their transformations, as well as valuable information provided by Mirna as a conclusion to her research trip on wild plants.

The research was conducted in collaboration with Raya Ziada and Yara Dawani from “Manjala” project, and with Imad Hasan; researcher in Mediterranean wild plants.  

The menu will be announced soon.
