“These stories urge us to not just think, but to do. What can we do to make things better? How should we begin?” ~Pam Bellck, Pulitzer Prize-winning health reporter
Does food evoke memories? Does food create identities? Does food write histories?
Explore how food creates new identities by transforming the personal into the political. By bringing together testimonies of nostalgia and gestures of affect in mixed media, this exhibition opens up new creative possibilities to move beyond the limitations of borders and boundaries and creates sensorial experience to invoke the food memories and histories.
