Community Sobremesa

Friday March 20, 2026 | 12:00 PM
Louis' Market - Catering by Cuchara de Abuela
4001 S. 12th Ave, Tucson AZ 

A sobremesa-style gathering that brings together the editors of Culinary Mestizaje with local practitioners of the La Doce Barrio Foodways Project—an ongoing Southside initiative that grew into today’s Community Land Trust work—and partners in Tucson’s food and land justice ecosystem: Oro House, Regeneración, and Chinese Chorizo Project. Over a shared meal at Louis’ Market, the emerging Center for Cultural Organizing, we’ll engage in a moderated panel and sobremesa table dialogues that deepen relationships and spark imagination for future work in the region.
