The Txoko Experience: The Secret Culinary Space of the Basques - Professor Marcela Garcés of Siena University

Professor Marcela Garcés of Siena University will visit Trinity College on September 29, 2026, for a screening and discussion of her documentary The Txoko Experience: The Secret Culinary Space of the Basques, created in collaboration with filmmaker Yuri Morrejón. The film explores txokos—traditional Basque gastronomic societies—as spaces of community, cultural transmission, and collective identity. The event will include a Q&A with Professor Garcés and a reception featuring Basque-style pintxos, offering an interdisciplinary look at food, film, cultural heritage, and the public humanities.
