Aftertaste

Aftertaste considered how food can act as a link between a person's past, present, and future, activating and containing memories that connect us to a shared experience or place in time. Through contact with food - cooking, eating and sharing - we maintain cultural ties and access different forms of knowledge.

The food-related artworks in Aftertaste spoke about culture, identity and representation by way of tastes on the tongue.

Curator: Megan R. Fizell
