Let’s Cook Soup Together!

Workshop

People are
known to bond over food, yet kitchens and dinner tables can be touchy and
political sites for families and social groups. In this workshop, I used a pot
of soup as a metaphor for family and guided participants to think about how
they might contribute to it.
The workshop participants gained self-insight and learned that acceptance and appreciation of individual differences was possible through civil conversation over food. Understanding how we interact in a group gave us insight to how our individualities have been shaped, informing how people contribute to other group interactions outside comfort zones.
This workshop was supported by The Future of Our Pasts Festival as part of the Singapore Bicentennial.
It will be held again at the National Library Board’s Read!Fest 2020.
