The Becoming Meal

Join me for a creative workshop next week! Date & Time: April 27th-30th, 2-4 pm Location: Goldsmiths College, University of London The Becoming Meal explores ethnicity fluidity. The confusion of being too Chinese in Canada and too Canadian in the UK sparks the idea that ethnicity is malleable and inventable. The method of changing one’s ethnicity explored in The Becoming Meal is the consumption of food. Food is a part of the material culture of an ethnicity. The more food we intake, the more cultural information we will learn. As these bits accumulate, we become more of the other ethnicity. The Becoming Meal invites the audience to play with food and sparks inspiring conversations through a workshop. Participants will take a sensory journey based on Chineseness and Chinese culture investigating their ethnic identity and its future possibilities.
