Nasher Sculpture Center presents Michael Rakowitz Community BBQ & Cookbook

Saturday, February 8 from 11 AM – 2 PM, the Nasher Sculpture Center presents artist Michael Rakowitz, the 2020 Nasher Prize Laureate, as he cooks traditional Iraqi dishes and Texas BBQ at this lunchtime celebration at F.A.R.M. (Farmer's Assisting Returning Military), complete with live music and dancing. Rakowitz's new cookbook, A House with a Date Palm Will Never Starve, will be available for purchase.

For over two decades, Rakowitz’s sculpture has considered his heritage as an American artist of Iraqi Jewish descent and has confronted the complex legacies of centuries of conflict in the Middle East. One way he does this is by fostering community through the shared experience of a meal with people of various backgrounds. For this event, Rakowitz will work with help from Break Bread Break Borders, a Dallas-based catering company which economically empowers refugee women by employing them as cooks.

Event location: F.A.R.M. (Farmer's Assisting Returning Military) near the Dallas Farmer's Market/ 700 S. Good Latimer Expressway, Dallas

Parking: Free parking is available.

FREE with registration. Please register here to attend.
