WED 9/23 | Southbound Story & Conversation Hour: Katelyn D. Crawford
When: Wednesday, September 23 | 5-6 PM
Where: Ovenbird Garden
Because the best thing served at a food festival isn't always on the plate. Sometimes it's the story behind it.
Between Southbound's two festival weekends, we present Southbound Story & Conversation Hour—five evenings of cocktails, conversation, and unforgettable stories from some of the South's most compelling food voices.
Join us Monday –Friday at the Ovenbird Garden for one remarkable storyteller each evening. They'll share a story, then open the conversation. No panels. No PowerPoints. Just a drink, a great story, and a chance to hear—and talk with—people who have something wonderful to say.
5:00 p.m. Cocktails + gathering
5:15 p.m. Story + Conversation
6:00 p.m. Goodbyes
Five evenings. Five stories. Five conversations. One more reason to linger in Birmingham between Southbound's big festival weekends.
Come for the food. Stay for the stories.
ABOUT WEDNESDAY’S CONVERSATION:
Food tells a story about our past. There is so much to learn from those who cooked and gathered before us. Through recipes, ingredients, traditions, tools, utensils, tableware, paintings and the people who keep these stories alive, we can trace the connections between food, art and culture across generations.
Join Birmingham Museum of Art Associate Director of Collections & Exhibitions and Curator of American Art Katelyn D. Crawford and Cathy Sloss Jones for a conversation inspired by the museum’s upcoming exhibition, From Scratch: Art and Food in the South, exploring what we inherit, what we preserve and the creative traditions that have shaped the Southern table.
Tickets: $25
