Pass the Culture

We’re talking soul food. The magic of a shared meal. And the joy of being around a table together.
Soul Plates, organized by Cincy Nice in partnership with the Contemporary Arts Center, invites the community to go deeper into the diverse flavors and traditions and that define us as cultures, communities and individuals by reflecting on soul food and our connection to food as a form of resistance, an act of joy, an expression of love, and deep down, a part of who we are.

Philately was one of the small devotions of my childhood. I inherited hundreds of stamps from my father. I could never say whether he collected them himself or simply bought them for my brother and me. Among all of them, one in particular held my gaze with disproportionate insistence: a reproduction of The Sleeping Gypsy, the 1897 painting by Henri Rousseau that I finally saw years later at the MoMA.
