Episode Synopsis

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from Mariana Martínez Balvanera speaking on the Cocina Colaboratorio project working in Mexico City and beyond, described as a project that "a mobile and on-site project that brings farmers, scientists, creatives and chefs together around the kitchen." This project is active in Mexico City but also has organized spaces beyond. It focuses on lifting up alternative readings of food justice struggles as connected to legacies of Indigenous identities and also the role of social movements, today and in the past.
