Sussex Surplus x The Launchpad Collective - with Pary Baban
Location
About
TLC is hosting a Cooking the Books takeover with Sussex Surplus at Patio in Brighton for a special Supper Club exploring food, memory, displacement and Kurdish culture with Pary Baban, author of Nandên: Recipes from My Kurdish Kitchen.
Born in Qaladze in Southern Kurdistan, a place known for its resistance and community, Pary fled Kurdistan with her family to escape what became known as the Anfal Genocide. Her story is difficult and powerful — but essential.
Through her restaurant Nandine in South London, and now through Nandên, meaning “kitchen”, Pary uses the food of her homeland to keep Kurdish culture alive after generations of hardship, loss and displacement.
This is a chance to hear Pary’s story in her own words, to understand more about the history and culture that shape her cooking, and to explore how food can carry memory, identity and a sense of home across borders and generations. It is also a chance to come together around food, share stories and connect through the cultures and experiences that shape us.
The event comes in a year that marks 75 years since the Refugee Convention — a moment to reflect on displacement, protection and the stories of people who have rebuilt their lives in new places.
Thank you for your support.
Please note ticket prices cover food only, drinks not included.
