MAIZ: Culinary and Cultural Resilience

Join us for the “We the People” free public program series on the third Thursday evening of each month.

Curated by Mi Centro, this month’s program will explore the rich cultural significance of Maiz (corn) as a foundational ingredient in Latine communities. The program features conversations with local culinary experts who share their insight on the integral role that Maiz plays in their cooking and community identity. From its origins in indigenous cultures of Mesoamerica to modern kitchens, Maiz is more than just an ingredient—it is a symbol of resilience, tradition, and cultural pride.
