  • TASTES from HOME Recipes from the Refugee Community PREFACE
    TASTES FROM HOME Recipes from the Refugee Community PREFACE In writing the articles for this cookbook, I had the privilege and pleasure of speaking with refugees from all over the world who now call Canada home. Sometimes we had the good fortune of meeting in person, but because this project originated during the 2020 pandemic, often we spoke over the phone or through a video call, each of us holed up in our homes. They shared their stories, and they shared their recipes. From one foodie to another, the excitement and pride each person felt about their recipes was palpable. For many, the recipes hold a personal connection to a family member or to a memory, and the food is an indisputable connection to their culture. Each person has a unique story, with different outlooks, challenges, and rewards, but I was struck by one thing they all had in common—a desire to give back to Canada. From the Mexican restaurant owner who plans to employ dozens of Canadians, to the Syrian entrepreneur who donated the proceeds from his chocolate factory to Canadians impacted by wildfires, to the former Governor General who became a figurehead for the country, each person expressed profound gratitude and an eagerness to help the country that took them in. We often hear about refugees in abstract faraway terms, through statistics about the number of people fleeing from one country to another, but in speaking with these 14 people those statistics became humanized and the abstract became real experiences. Their stories are captivating, their recipes are mouthwatering, and I hope you enjoy both in the following pages.

Donelian’s music is a distinctive blend of 20 influences including his Armenian origin, his Classical technique, and his association with some of the biggest names in Jazz. And, according to Metronom Magazine (1986), he achieves this fusion In such a natural way that one can tell it’s a master’s work. “The best time to learn music,” says Davis and John Coltrane. “Folk, Rock, Dixieland, Jazz, Church, Show and Society music – I played pianist Armen Donelian, “is when you’re them all while growing up,” says Donelian. young, while the brain synapses are still open and fresh.

  • Elif Uras the Source
    ELİF URAS THE SOURCE Curator & Editor: L. İpek Ulusoy Akgül November 24 – December 30, 2018 Tue–Fri, 11am – 6pm; Sat, 12pm – 7pm Kemeraltı Caddesi No: 25C Beyoğlu, Istanbul, Turkey (next to Galata Greek School) Elif Uras’s site-specific installation The Source, realized under the leadership of Galerist and as part of Kale Group’s 2018 project in support of ceramics in art, will be on view at a historic storefront in Istanbul between November 24 and December 30. Feeding from diverse historical and cultural references in her works, Uras hybridizes various traditions connecting painting to ceramics that she’s been working with for a while. The artist transforms these traditions in search of a new language. Exploring ideas of shared heritage, cultural hybridity, tradition and pluralism, The Source features a functioning ceramic fountain, a tiled wall, and new drawings presented in ceramic frames. An extension of Uras’s spatial explorations, her panel composed of 2500 mosaic pieces stems from Çinili Köşk (Tiled Kiosk) in Istanbul. Her anthropomorphic sculpture is a feminized version of the fountains in the Ottoman Imperial garden. In dialogue with the goddess figure in her fountain, Uras’s works on paper portray female protagonists presenting us with their gifts. Recalling the artist’s interest in different artistic practices before her, The Source also underlines natural resources such as water and light that connect with ceramics in Uras’s works. Her first presentation in Istanbul since her 2016 solo exhibition at Galerist, this installation transforms a historical space that has previously been used as a storage and a shop, attributing it a new function.
