Oolite Arts Conversations: Miralda with Trasobares and Palmié

[Randy Eady]

​Transducing into the aesthetic, cultural and political dimensions of a remarkably global product: the Maggi bouillon cube.

 

The worldwide circulation of Maggi cubes is anthropologically embraced via a historical, artistic and commercially-propagandized lens, offering critical insight into their presence across highly diverse cultural contexts.

Tracing a trajectory through which Maggi seasoning achieved global recognition, as varied local adaptations surrounding the cube — not only as a commercial product and brand, but also as a near fetish cultural symbol -- engendered imagery on billboards in Africa, as well as cookbooks and culinary traditions in English, Spanish, French and Creole.

7:00 – 9:00 PM
Where: Proscenium Theatre, Little Haiti Cultural Complex
212 NE 59th Terrace, Miami, FL 33137

A fulsome area of study!  From North Florida and up the coastal islands of Georgia, thru North & South Carolina there is a culture and cuisine like no other, Gullah Geechee. It's a mix of low country Southern Soul food with West African & Caribbean influences.

If you ever get the chance to try this cuisine I highly recommend it, the flavor palate is hard to describe. A lot of blended sweet savory smokey citrus notes compliment locally sourced foods.
