On this episode of Queering The Air, Sasja was in conversation with Guy Ritani, system designer at PERMAQUEER and also one of the masterminds behind DAYMA - “May This Meal Last.” This innovative initiative combines elements of community engagement, theatrical performance, and a sustainable banquet to offer a delightful and meaningful experience that bridges generational gaps and addresses critical issues surrounding food waste, cultural appreciation, and human connections. By weaving together narratives, culinary traditions, melodies, and eco-conscious practices, DAYMA nurtures a profound bond between youths and their predecessors while underscoring the vital need to minimize food wastage. This project embodies a profound ethos of nurturing ourselves, fostering communal ties, and preserving the environment through the transcendent acts of culinary exchange, cultural celebration, and knowledge sharing. This event also serves as a welcoming gesture to new families from Gaza, Palestine who have recently settled in Naarm/Melbourne.
