Breads of the Creative Cities in Seattle, USA

May 8, 2024

From May 4 to 8, 2024, a series of Breads of the Creative Cities Meetings with local bakers was held in Seattle, with the support of Seattle UNESCO Creative City of Literature. The meetings involved:

Alessandra Gordon of Ayako & Family, whose story highlights traditional knowledge, the creative evolution of tradition, resilience, heritage, immigration and the role of women in Japanese society;
Aldo and Angelica of Maíz;
Janine of WSU Breadlab.

These encounters offered an opportunity to share and preserve diverse bread-making traditions, in line with the project’s mission of uncovering the hidden routes of bread knowledge.

Breads of the Creative Cities, the first inter-cluster project of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network, launched in 2018 by the Creative Knowledge Foundation in partnership with Tucson UCC, celebrates the diversity of local staple foods through bread as a symbol of cultural identity. It showcases stories, traditions, and practices from Creative Cities worldwide, giving voice to bakers, millers, and farmers.
