Compass Arts resident artist Ling Tan presents ‘Low Carbon Chinatown’. Originally commissioned by London-based arts organisation, Kakilang, the project is heading up north this August 2023 to explore the East and Southeast Asian food culture of Leeds.
Using a love of food and the power of a shared meal as a catalyst for meaningful conversations, Ling will be hosting a series of 3 workshops this summer.
On Mon 7th August, Ling will be hosting a group food-tasting session co-led by Leeds-based chef, Mr Chiu at Beeston Village Community Centre.
On Tuesday 8th August, Ling will be joining the Lincoln Greeners to explore the Roxby Community Garden vegetable beds and introduce participants to some of the edible plants that can be grown right here in Leeds. This discussion-based session will address how you can incorporate these ingredients into your favourite Chinese recipes to reduce their carbon footprint and of course, maximise their flavour.
Finally, you and a plus one of your choice are invited to a sit-down Chinese meal at Patrick Studios on Saturday 26th August, lovingly prepared by Mr Chiu.
All activities, including the meal, are free.
Suitable for ages 8+
