Manawaka Ao in collaboration with our friends from @otherkitaabghar @sos.songsofsolidarity we invite you to come watch the anti-caste short film Caste on the Menu Card — which explores how food becomes a site of exclusion, identity, and othering.

Held during Dalit History Month, which honours the birth of Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar who was a key architect of the Indian Constitution, and a lifelong activist against caste-based oppression.

Dalit? Caste? What do these terms mean?
Why does Dalit History Month matter?
What does food have to do with systems of power and exclusion?

We invite curious minds, readers, community members, and cultural workers to come together in conversation, reflection, and learning.

Two screening: 

22nd April, Wednesday – Pōneke Wellington, 115 Taranaki Street, Te Aro

23rd April, Thursday, Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, 165 Stoddard Road, Mount Roskill
