Description

The Super Boat People Collective is offering a Cambodian and Laotian cooking workshop, followed by a collective meal at La Cabane. Discover these two lesser-known culinary universes by getting your hands dirty and tasting some emblematic dishes in a warm atmosphere! The workshop will be co-facilitated by Rémy Chhem and Chanthavilack Pankham (Alpha).

Super Boat People is a collective whose mission is to inclusively mobilize Cambodian, Laotian, and Vietnamese individuals of origin and alliance in Quebec, encouraging them to reclaim their histories, and reconnect with their cultures and communities, in order to represent them equitably. To achieve this, the collective implements a variety of initiatives encompassing cuisine, urban agriculture, history and archives, arts, and social mobilization.
