Recipe Shared

Recipe Shared is a digital ‘docu-memory’ series inspired by the real-life interviews of seniors living in Denver’s eastside neighborhoods. Each piece is grounded in the inquiry, “What’s your recipe for community?” The filmed vignettes combine interview transcripts, audio recordings, historical research, satire, movement, dance, and theatre to honor neighborhood histories through the personal stories of its residents.   

To create Recipe Shared, Artibus met with seniors (through digital platforms) particularly isolated by Covid-19 to conduct interviews and offer creative companionship.  The project was intended to be a live theatrical performance and was pivoted to film during COVID restrictions. 

Note: This video can be viewed anytime June 24-27.
