Taste of Exile refuses to relegate food to the background. A new media exhibition exploring immigration, exile, and labor in food service, the multisensory project interrogates the boundaries that have kept cooking outside the artistic canon.
The exhibition is open during regular gallery hours and features ethnographic materials, including oral histories and 3D scans of kitchens and food environments.
Advance registration is required for the immersive dining (VR) experience, tracing renowned Chef Cristina Martinez's journey of exile, resilience, and the power of food as memory, resistance, and care. Step into a shared ritual of storytelling, where traditional Mexican and Indigenous cuisine meets virtual reality.
