Through live cooking and storytelling, it explores masculinity, reproduction and transmasculine experience, reimagining the dish by transforming its ingredients and form. It moves between the politics of gender, bodily consumption and the division between cooking as an obligation to nourish and cooking as an act of creative genius. Participants then rewrite the inherited recipe themselves, questioning what traditions preserve, what they exclude and what else they might become.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/london/events/queer-recipes-archive-volume-2-how-to-crack-an-egg-78970/", "official_url": "", "image": "https://noky.io/images/90e8270339deaa064a51b7535bba6aa6a976ce85ea309a1d319c92a48db1d743-2000.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-05T13:00:00Z", "end": "2026-11-05T13:00:00Z", "place": "Chats Palace", "address": "Brooksby's Walk 42-44, E9 6DF London", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "Queer Recipes Archive (Community Workshop)", "start": "2026-11-05T13:00:00Z", "end": "2026-11-05T15:00:00Z", "place": "Chats Palace", "address": "Brooksby's Walk 42-44, E9 6DF London", "price": "Free", "price_from": "0.00", "price_to": "0.00", "tickets_url": "https://dice.fm/partner/tickets/event/rye79q-queer-recipes-archive-5th-nov-chats-palace-london-tickets?dice_id=10670055", "category": "workshops-courses", "tags": ["diy/zines", "food-drink/food-culture", "society/queer"], "description": "Queer Recipes Archive is an interactive workshop-performance that explores who defines the \"traditional\" version of a dish and whose experiences its recipe leaves out, tracing how ingredients and techniques have changed through migration, labour, gender and power.

The narrative follows a woman and her therapist on a regressive journey into childhood to uncover a secret held within the flesh, triggering a metamorphosis in which other women listen to the protagonist within the sound of her silence. After the 45-minute performance, offered in Latin American Spanish with English surtitles for ages 14 and over, Hilanderas hosts a Q&A and a Roy Hart-based workshop.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/london/events/the-voice-of-butterflies-60519/", "official_url": "https://www.voilafestival.co.uk/events/the-voice-of-butterflies/", "image": "https://noky.io/images/0e53b6b5efb173a3ed6ab8b18e3bd1a35a7ec13e53e468e751ee3a3fd1318a0a-1200.webp"}, {"title": "The Conch", "start": "2026-11-04T18:30:00Z", "end": "2026-11-04T20:30:00Z", "place": "South London Gallery", "address": "Peckham Road 65-67, SE5 8UH London", "price": "£10/£5 members & concessions", "price_from": "10.00", "price_to": "10.00", "tickets_url": "", "category": "talks-readings", "tags": ["stage/performance-art"], "description": "The Conch is an event where artists share new work that is still in development, with the audience invited to respond after each presentation by sharing thoughts, questions and reflections.
