Recipes of Resistance - Photo Gallery

    On Tuesday April 15th, the Esperanza Peace and Justice Center hosted Kitchen Table Puppets + Press’s puppet show, Recipes of Resistance, a community written and performed, giant puppet show. The night featured a variety of performances and activities, including puppet shows, a night market, DJ, live art, music, food and a piñata to close the night! The main event, Recipes of Resistance was a thought provoking puppet show that discussed political events currently happening in the world, such as deportation, mass surveillance, and social injustices. 

    Through the use of vibrant oversized puppets, and powerful storytelling, the show encouraged the audience to reflect on the ways in which these global challenges affect local communities. Overall, the evening was a celebration of creativity, resilience, and community power. Reminding us that storytelling and art can be powerful tools for resistance and change.
