SUMMARY:BYOB: Bring Your Own Book!
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate the launch of Jia Pu 家譜 cookbook with a book reading and sharing event at World’s Borough Bookshop!\n\n\nNew York\, we’re coming to you. 🏮 \nDo you believe in the power of food and storytelling?\nAre you curious about knowing the stories that shape the people around you? \nJoin us for a BYOB: Bring Your Own Book event at World’s Borough Bookshop in celebration of AANHPI Month and the launch of Jia Pu 家譜: Cooking Our Way Home; Recipes\, Art\, & Stories from the Asian American South.  \nThe evening will include readings from our cookbook\, book signing\, snacks\, drinks\, music\, and a sharing circle. Bring a book that represents who you are\, how you got here\, or who you are becoming. \nJia Pu 家譜 began as a desire to document our potluck conversations with the Memphis Asian American community and has since grown into something we never could have imagined: an expanding archive for celebration\, storytelling\, and remembrance. \nCome for a taste of Memphis and stay for the flavors of home! \nAbout MengCheng 梦城团 Collective \nMengCheng 梦城团 Collective (pronounced “muh-ng chuh-ng”) is an invitation into intergenerational dialogue\, communal healing\, and empowerment by sharing the Asian American experience of living in the Mid-South. MengCheng 梦城 “City of Dreams” is inspired by the Chinese phonetic name for Memphis\, or 孟菲斯 mèngfēisī. As artists and makers who grew up in Memphis\, Thandi Cai\, LiLi Nacht\, Yidan Zeng and the late Neena Wang formed this collective to challenge the way our cultural histories have been collected\, disseminated\, or made invisible. Through an art-making process centered around food\, ritual\, and gathering\, they create spaces to involve the Southern Asian American community in their own archive making\, healing\, and resource building. We aim to create transformative processes that allow the Asian American community to not only see ourselves in the history and future of the Mid-South\, but also to claim our agency in enacting change in the region.
