Giving Thanks

An intimate meal and performance gathering under a full moon at Bartram’s Garden. Curated by Chef Laquanda Dobson and artist Jenn Kidwell, Giving Thanks invites guests to share seasonal food, movement, and ritual rooted in Black ancestral knowledge and land-based gratitude. Through shared dishes, poetic activations, and community presence, the evening reimagines what it means to gather, nourish, and give thanks—together.
