In exploration of an archive of blackness in everyday day life, Eva Margarita’s Salt, Fat, Ashes, Heat digests the idea of consuming the other. Done through a cooking practice, this conjuring aims to trace the cyclical flow of gathering, knowledge, and mourning for black folks across the Americas. Taking an endo-cannibalistic approach, Eva Margarita will cook and eat three different entrees with her father’s ashes to not only honor his spirit but to show how communities pass on knowledge through a practice in eating and conjuring with one another. To consume the flesh is to commit to its history and it’s (re)invention. Taking place over the course of 12 hours, Salt, Fat, Ashes, Heat serves as a journey in memory, flesh, and the human need to accompany one another in life and in death.
