John Hopkins’s The World Will Never See the Like: The Gettysburg Reunion of 1913 goes a long way toward making sure the world will remember.

In 1970, Lynda was 18, unmarried and pregnant when she was forced to give her baby up for adoption. She was sent by a doctor to a Catholic girls’ home for unmarried mothers, and told she’d have no hope of keeping her child because she was Aboriginal. After 26 years, Lynda was finally able to make contact with her lost son – but the much wished for reunion didn’t go well. When she looked into the adoption records, she found a web of lies – lies about her family, the baby’s father, her ‘consent’ for the adoption – and her Indigenous heritage had been completely erased.

Des rencontres permettant de replonger dans les souvenirs gustatifs. Autant de prétextes à explorer les cultures, les liens, les héritages.

Autour d’un plat, d’un dessert de fête ou d’un fruit particulier se dessinent des mondes, des liens nouant les générations, et sont soulevées les questions de transmission, d’amour filial, de mutations, d’urbanisations, de religions ou de croyances.
