Conflict Kitchen

Joselyn McDonald

Conflict Kitchen is a restaurant that serves cuisine from countries with which the United States is in conflict. Each Conflict Kitchen iteration is augmented by events, performances, publications, and discussions that seek to expand the engagement the public has with the culture, politics, and issues at stake within the focus region. The restaurant rotates identities in relation to current geopolitical events. 

Our current Haudenosaunee version introduces our customers to the food, culture, and politics of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Also known as the Iroquois Confederacy, the Haudenosaunee is a league of six Indigenous nations located primarily in upstate New York with historic ties to Western Pennsylvania. Throughout this iteration, we will share the food and culture of the Haudenosaunee people and offer their perspectives on Indigenous sovereignty, economic and environmental conflict, and cultural erasure.
