Sadza is the ground meal foundation to so many Zimbabwean dishes, it also tells the story of a people. During the dinner- Participants will enjoy a meal presented in ceramic plates created with local clay extracted from a local Roswell reservoir. This is to make connections between the food - land (ceramics). This platform is to share some indigenous social political narratives through Sadza and other connections and discourses.

The participants will sit at a round table whilst they eat sadza, this orientation represents a Zimbabwe traditional kitchen where family members sit facing one another conversing and eating.
