Also\, soaked garri ā€“ a fine to coarse meal (think cornmeal texture) enjoyed as cereal\, with water or milk\, and sides like eba\, a hot sticky dough similar to mashed potatoes but starchier and served with soups and stews. There are salads of abacha\, made from rehydrated\, shredded cassava and desserts of mingau\, made with tapioca granules and coconut milk. \nGuests will experience Nigerian cuisine through cassava in different forms\, tasting\, drinking\, and learning about the history and use in Nigeria and across West Africa today today\, as well as the origins\, and future possibilities of this incredible and life-sustaining crop. \nMENU \nGarri SoakingsThink of it as cereal but with ice cold water. Optional extras include milk\, chocolate powder (Milo)\, groundnuts (peanuts) and more. \nLemongrass Chicken Pepper Soup with TapiocaFragrant spiced broth with savory boba. Pepper soup is a spiced broth that isnā€™t always ā€œpepperyā€. In Nigeria\, some ā€œspicyā€ and ā€œchili hotā€ descriptions occupy the same space\, as ā€œpepperā€\, hence pepper soup. Worry not\, this will be warm and comforting not mouth-numbing. \nEba\, Lafun\, and Egusi soupOzoz will demonstrate the preparation of traditional soft doughs like Eba\, made with granulated cassava meal and Lafun from fermented cassava flour\, typically shaped into balls or ovals. The perfect accompaniment to hearty soups\, in this case Egusi soup\, prepared with a nutty melon seed mix and mushrooms. \nCassava & Coconut Salad (vegan)A traditional pairing of these two staple foods combining natural sweetness with earthiness\, freshness from herbs and citrus. Served with papaya salsa\, peanut sauce\, and a medley of toppings including toasted sesame seeds and nuts \nMingauA spiced\, creamy dessert of coconut milk and granulated tapioca\, with jams\, syrups\, fruit\, and nutsā€”ā€“ \nOzoz Sokoh is a food scholar and author whose work documents and celebrates Nigerian and West African cuisine\, most recently in her debut cookbook\, Chop Chop: Cooking the Food of Nigeria. She is particularly fascinated by all the ways weā€™re similar ā€“ dishes\, drinks\, material culture\, techniques\, and more ā€“ across geographies\, cultures\, and histories\, in spite of our apparent differences.https://ozozsokoh.com | @kitchenbutterfly \nSigned copies of Ozozā€™s book will be available for purchase at the event.

Mstyslav Chernovā€™s commitment to documenting the devastation of his homeland and the gruelling efforts of Ukrainian forces to win back their territories is of the highest order; after the premiere of 2000 Meters to Andriivka\, he left the Sundance Film Festival with the Directing Award for World Cinema Documentary in hand. \nDespite the extremely high risk\, Chernov joins soldiers on the front line in eastern Ukraine as they inch forward through a narrow strip of charred forest flanked by minefields in an effort to liberate the strategic village of Andriivka. \nInterlacing first-person footage taken using body cameras with intimate interviews with soldiersā€”many of them barely past the threshold of adulthoodā€”2000 Meters witnesses the toll this David and Goliath fight is taking on Ukraine. The farther the soldiers and filmmakers move through the destroyed landscape of their homeland\, the more they realize this war is nowhere near its end. A dire and powerful look at the realities and futility of war\, and what it means to fight for oneā€™s nationā€™s freedom and preserve its memory.
