Cooking Memory is a performance by Mexican artist Lia García that deals with tenderness and love as spaces of resistance. In times of violence towards trans lives, where does the resistance come from? What does it mean to touch? What stories are told in the kitchen? Broken lives are important and it is time to talk about ourselves in a space of intimacy, memory, and affection.

Scholars will discuss “things” in the context of contemporary art, new materialism, theories of assemblage, re-assemblage, and the problem of ephemerality in June 2017. The weekend long retreat celebrates Elsewhere’s 15th birthday by thinking about the future of things for a thrift-store turned museum. The evening is a collaboration between Elsewhere, Cabinet Magazine.
