Home is a set of flavors and rituals that shape our individual and collective memory.
The scent of a dish can transport us to distant places, bring back childhood memories, or even revive forgotten traditions.
Food becomes a sensory bridge that connects us to landscapes, people, and stories that define our identity and that preserve memory, a site of negotiation where politics, economy, and culture intersect.
Eating is not just an act; it’s a ritual, a living archive where history, identity, and nourishment come together, carrying the personal and collective stories.
We are artists who use food as both material and metaphor, reflecting on how ingredients, recipes, and the acts of cooking and sharing shape who we are, where we come from, and how we envision home.
From the kitchen as a keeper of ancestral knowledge to the plate as a map of emotions, these works may invite us to see home not as a fixed place but as something we carry with us and that is reimagined with every meal and every bite shared around the table.
The Nourishing Memory Collective is an artistic initiative exploring the intersections of food, memory, and cultural identity. Curated by Ana Núñez Rodríguez, the collective brings together artists whose work reflects on how culinary traditions, rituals, and shared meals shape personal and collective histories. Through photography, storytelling, performance, and multimedia art, Nourishing Memory investigates the ways in which food acts as a vessel for memory, migration, and belonging.
The collective fosters dialogue between artists from diverse backgrounds, encouraging reflections on ancestral knowledge, forgotten recipes, and the socio-political implications of food practices. By engaging with archives, oral histories, and participatory projects, Nourishing Memory creates immersive experiences that connect audiences with their own culinary and cultural roots.
