Recipes are a form of storytelling. Join artist Michaela Nichelle, who was part of the first cohort of students to graduate from MSU’s African American and African Studies program in 2024, for a talk on the transformative power of food and community, and how their art, on view in Farmland now, celebrates the Black women in their life. 

This event is co-sponsored by the Department of African and African American Studies. On view from Jan. 18–Jul. 27, 2025, Farmland: Food, Justice, and Sovereignty explores the crucial questions of food knowledge, security, and justice against the background of Michigan State University’s 170-year history in agricultural tradition.
