ABOUT

The Diaspora Dinner is an immersive dining experience that celebrates the ingredients, cooking techniques, and flavor profiles of the African diaspora. This year, MoAD Chef-in-Residence Jocelyn Jackson has asked Dr. Jessica B. Harris to join her as we honor the iconic contributions she has made to the canon of African foodways. The evening will be filled with melodic music, delicious drinks, exquisite food, and inspiring conversation that reflect Dr. Harris’s culinary scholarship and remarkable life. The exquisite dinner will be hosted at The St. Regis San Francisco, a Forbes Five-Star luxury hotel, renowned for its gracious and bespoke services.

We will begin the night in the grand lobby of MoAD with a champagne reception and passed hors d’oeuvres. The guests will then make their way through the building to a beautifully appointed space at the St. Regis Hotel for a formal multi-course dinner co-curated by our Chef-in-Residence and Dr. Harris, which will include many of Dr. Harris’ very own recipes. An interactive conversation moderated by chef Adrian Lipscombe will span the impact of Dr. Harris’ twelve acclaimed books including the book on which Netflix based its award-winning limited series about the African diaspora, "High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America."
