BELOVEDS!!! A NEW TEE DROP IS HERE!!! 🔥🖤✨

Hand-printed by la mana herself, @ed34.sant0s, and available TOMORROW at @theovalgallery!

Every tee you purchase goes directly toward our next PAY WHAT YOU CAN—helping us stay at The Oval Gallery, keep bridging delicious food + fresh produce to community, and continue purchasing directly from our local small-scale farmers.

Because this is a collective effort. Community coming together, bringing what we have, sharing what we can, and feeding each other.

Every person who gives their time, craft, resources, space, or love keeps this work moving.

Diego, gracias for capturing these shots!!! 📸 And all our love to @aim.shoot.develop for constantly showing up, documenting this journey, and supporting us along the way.

FEEDING EACH OTHER.
UPLIFTING TOGETHER.
SUPPORTING OUR FARMERS.
KEEPING THIS WORK MOVING.

You keep us moving!!! 🖤✨
There is no us without YOU.

And @saqibkeval + @normalistman… pa’ dónde les mandamos sus playeras, chefs??? 😭🔥

Beloveds, please check out the incredible work Saqib Keval and Norma Listman—the founders who inspired this initiative—are doing in Mexico City through their kitchen, @masalaymaiz. Their work continues to show us what becomes possible when food, dignity, reciprocity, and community care meet at the same table.

Les mandamos un abrazote desde Cali!!! 🌶️🖤✨

PAY WHAT YOU CAN.
FEED EACH OTHER.
SUPPORT LOCAL FARMERS.
KEEP COMMUNITY MOVING.

See you Wednesday!!! by @theovalgallery

🖤✨ There is no US without U!!

Quererte will be joining restaurants and pop-ups around the world for a Global @pagaloquepuedas_paywhatyoucan initiative led by @masalaymaiz.

On Wednesday, August 26, 2026, we will be gathering at @theovalgallery — the people’s gallery — to celebrate the launch of Quererte’s Pay What You Can program: our way of asking, “¿Ya comiste?”

A practice modeled by Chefs @normalistman and @saqibkeval, rooted in community care, dignity, and food accessibility.

At Quererte, we deeply believe food can be a bridge — a way for people to gather, see one another through stories and flavors, share ancestral knowledge, nourish each other, and experience the many forms of care that have traveled through generations around the table.

Wherever you find us, there is always a seat at the table. 🖤✨

🖤✨ ¡No hay NOSOTROS sin USTEDES!

Quererte se une a restaurantes y pop-ups alrededor del mundo para una iniciativa global de @pagaloquepuedas_paywhatyoucan impulsada por @masalaymaiz.

El miércoles 26 de agosto del 2026 nos estaremos reuniendo en @theovalgallery — la galería del pueblo — para celebrar el lanzamiento del programa Pay What You Can de Quererte: nuestra manera de preguntar, “¿Ya comiste?”

Una práctica inspirada por los Chefs @normalistman y @saqibkeval, arraigada en el cuidado comunitario, la dignidad y el acceso a la comida.

En Quererte creemos profundamente que la comida puede ser un puente, una manera de reunirnos, reconocernos a través de historias y sabores, compartir conocimiento ancestral, y honrar todas las formas de apoyo mutuo que han viajado por generaciones alrededor de la mesa.

Donde sea que nos encuentren, siempre habrá un lugar en la mesa para ustedes. 🖤✨ by @theovalgallery
