Halloween Potluck
About this free community event
Latin Cuirs and Aotearoa Filipino Potluck Club are excited to invite you to share a night of kai (food), memories, and fun! 🎃
Latin America and the Philippines share the same Spanish colonial wound. Fortunately, our peoples knew how to survive the cultural erasure and invented ways to resist collectively. An example of this is el Día de los Muertos (the Day of the Dead). 🏵️🕯️
This October, we want to celebrate with you. 💕Bring your favourite kai to share!
Colonialism has stolen our gold, but never our joy!
Please RSVP so we can keep track of event attendees and any dietary/accessibility requirements.
🥰 This is a FREE community event! 🥰
