(68) Fellows Dinner

Fellows Dinner bring together artists, writers, and members of the Fishers Island community for shared meals at a long table. Elevated and informal by design, these evenings create space for the kind of conversation that tends to happen when good food and good company come together.

Our May dinner is a collaboration with Luna Vela, a Mexico-born, Texas-raised chef, artist, and anthropologist whose practice moves between the kitchen, cultural institutions, and the field. Rooted in Tejana culture, queer futurity, and the traditional technologies of nixtamalization, fermentation, and live fire, her culinary work is inspired by alchemical processes. She is the founder of Neighborhood Molino, a community masa project based in Austin, TX, and formerly served as Director of Masa and Fermentation for award-winning restaurants across Texas. Her interdisciplinary practice spans collective food-making, film, performance, and the dance between permanence and the ephemeral. She cooks from a place that honors ancestral memory, land, and intuition, with the quiet knowledge that feeding people is a political and sacred act of love.
