    Eat and Draw — Met het kookboek 'Where the Olive Tree Grows' brengt Sirien Salameh een ode aan haar moeder. Tussen de vingervlugge familierecepten door sijpelt een verhaal over traditie, verlies, olijfbomen en bezetting. Met oliepastels en drogenaaldetsen werpt ze een persoonlijk licht op de omstandigheden in Palestina.

    We verzamelen ons rond de tafel om kleine gerechten uit het kookboek te bereiden en samen te tekenen. Met enkele kleine opdrachten zet Sirien ons aan het werk, waarbij ze de Palestijnse keuken gebruikt als inspiratiebron voor tekeningen en gesprek. Als je wilt, kun je je tekeningen na afloop presenteren op de muur van de Kunsthal Gent.
