ABOUT
Food can connect us or underscore our differences—bring us to together or separate us. Food has roots in familial, regional, socioeconomic, and cultural group practices as well as changing national global trends. It can range from a longstanding family tradition to larger social justice issues like food security and distribution. Together, these practices constitute the concept of “foodways”—that is, the cultural, social, and economic practices related to the production and consumption of food. This virtual exhibition is an exploration into these concepts, using historic community cookbooks and modern, personally meaningful food-related items.
