DAYMA - “May This Meal Last”

Queering The Air

On this episode of Queering The Air, Sasja was in conversation with Guy Ritani, system designer at PERMAQUEER and also one of the masterminds behind DAYMA - “May This Meal Last.” This innovative initiative combines elements of community engagement, theatrical performance, and a sustainable banquet to offer a delightful and meaningful experience that bridges generational gaps and addresses critical issues surrounding food waste, cultural appreciation, and human connections. By weaving together narratives, culinary traditions, melodies, and eco-conscious practices, DAYMA nurtures a profound bond between youths and their predecessors while underscoring the vital need to minimize food wastage. This project embodies a profound ethos of nurturing ourselves, fostering communal ties, and preserving the environment through the transcendent acts of culinary exchange, cultural celebration, and knowledge sharing. This event also serves as a welcoming gesture to new families from Gaza, Palestine who have recently settled in Naarm/Melbourne.
