Drawn from Home: Animated Recipes

An interactive animation workshop that explores the politics of food, feasting, recipes, and community within the context of immigration. For many immigrants, the plate becomes one of the last remaining threads connecting them to a fractured identity.

In this workshop, participants will create short, hand-made stop-motion sequences using paper cut-outs to animate a personal scene, whether remembered or imagined.

All equipment will be provided.

Please arrive 15 minutes early for a prompt start

Hosted by Amina Ben Ismail and Engy Jarrouj

Curated in partnership with Hekayyatna

The London Migration Film Festival, which is holding its 10th annual edition from 27 November-3 December 2025, aims to challenge the narrow rhetoric on migration that often sees migration, and people on the move, framed in reductive and dehumanising binaries.
