On October 15th, join us as we delve into the impact of conflict on culinary culture, and the remarkable efforts of those who seek to preserve it.
We’ll be joined by two exceptional speakers:
🎙️ Michael Shaikh
Michael is a writer and human rights activist who has spent nearly two decades working in areas affected by political crisis and armed conflict. He has worked with the United Nations, Human Rights Watch, the International Crisis Group, and the Center for Civilians in Conflict. He is the author of “The Last Sweet Bite,” which won a 2026 James Beard Award for Literary Writing.
💬 In conversation with Kat Romanow
A key figure on Montreal's food scene, Kat is the Museum's Programming and Human Rights Coordinator, a Jewish food historian, and the founder of The Wandering Chew. Known for her work promoting culinary heritage (and as the creator of Fletchers' famous gefilte fish club sandwich!), she will explore how food is an integral aspect of understanding history and identity.
Join us on October 15 at 6:30 PM for a captivating discussion.
