A Taste of Home: Queens Memoirists on Food and Culture

  • Lewis Latimer House Museum 34-41 137th Street Queens, NY, 11354 United States (map)

Join us for an afternoon of storytelling, food and music with Queens writers and artists!

Queens, recognized as "the world’s borough," is the most diverse county in the U.S! A Taste of Home is a public reading event that celebrates this diversity and highlights the borough's racial and immigrant history through the perspective of its residents of color.

The event will feature readings from six talented memoir writers and alumni of our "Writing on Race and Immigration" Workshop Series, who will share their stories about the food, culture, and vibrant history of Queens, NY.

Guests will also enjoy a live musical performance by Guachinangos — a diverse band from Queens that blends Mexican son jarocho with Colombian cumbia and other Latin American rhythms.

Snacks and refreshments will be provided!

Join us for this special celebration of culture and community!
