Anne will be share her favourite Vietnamese recipes as she discusses the role of Japanese wartime occupation and French colonialism in shaping Vietnamese culture and food systems. Behind beloved dishes like bánh mì and cà phê sữa đá lies a history of cultural assimilation\, colonial violence\, exploitation of farmers\, and displacement from the land. \nThese systemic impacts are still felt today as Vietnam remains a major exporter of rice and coffee while many communities face unequal food access and local farmers continue to be exploited. Join us to reflect on these histories and celebrate resilience through food. \nWe’ll be making: \n\nBánh xèo (stuffed rice pancake)\nGỏi cuốn (spring roll)\nChè Ba Màu (three colour dessert)\n\nPlease let us know of any dietary restrictions and/or food allergies in the registration form ahead of the event. \n  \n \nAGENDA \n\nIntroductions and Housekeeping \nCooking and Activities \nEating and Discussion \nWrap-up and Clean-up\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Land Acknowledgement\nThis event takes place on the unceded homelands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish)\, səlil̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh)\, and kʷikʷəƛw̓əm (Kwikwetlem) Nations.\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				ABOUT THE FACILITATORS\nAnne Tran (she/her)Anne is a second-generation Vietnamese settler and student studying business.
