On Friday 3 July at 18:00, we welcome Mayomi Basnayaka to Page Not Found for the launch of Spices and their Travels: Turmeric Stains — a collection of recipe cards made during a workshop with residents of the Asylum Seekers Centre (AZC) in Katwijk, in collaboration with De Vrolijkheid.

During the evening, the group will share something about the process and present their work. The recipe cards will also be available for sale.

Free entry

Spices and their Travels is an artistic research project by Mayomi Basnayaka that explores the historical spice trade and colonial connections between the Netherlands and Sri Lanka. During the workshop, participants learned to make chai and thunapaha spice blends and experimented with turmeric anthotypes — a sun-based imprinting method using turmeric-stained paper — resulting in a collection of recipe cards with spice mixes and stories of migration.
