Learn the art of TORSHI PICKLING WITH FORMER TECH RESIDENT ALICIA
MERSY, as well as its numerous benefits. Pickles are one of the first
foods that people made and will probably be the last. The process acts
as a way to preserve, repurpose, and strengthen food. More
specifically, TORSHI ARE THE PICKLED VEGETABLES OF MANY BALKAN, Arab,
Turkish, and Iranian cuisine. The word _turşu_ is derived from
Persian_ torsh_, which means "sour." In some families, no meal is
considered complete without a bowl of torshi on the table.
In this workshop, led by former Tech Resident Alicia Mersy,
participants will learn brine methods to create a variety of Torshi as
they prepare their very own Torshi to take home. Through the simple
process of pickling, we will both taste and discuss the process'
ability to encourage alternative forms and expanded use like relieving
muscle cramps, boosting antioxidants, rebalancing the bodies pH, and
providing good bacteria for your skin.
PRICE: $50
DATE: The workshop is a one-day course meeting on March 1 from 1-4PM.
AUDIENCE: Open to all.
MATERIALS: Materials included in price of the class.

ABOUT FRUITS OF THE PLURALIST
Encouraging non-binary perception and embracing contradiction broadens
Encouraging non-binary perception and embracing contradiction broadens
communication to the world and to ourselves. Would it be possible for
the real and the imaginary, start and finish, the articulate and the
inarticulable, to not be oppositional?
_Fruits of the Pluralist _is a program series that explores
technological systems and practices that recognize many different
kinds of identities, structures, and forms of communication. The
series will showcase workshops and activations centered in spatiality
and non-binary complexity.
