Pantry Tours x Traveling Test Kitchen
Social Practice Project
Ongoing
Diaspora Dumplings: Pantry Tours x Traveling Test Kitchen (DD: PT x TTK) is a social practice art project that travels to participants’ home kitchens. Through conversation, pantry tours, and collaborative dumpling-making, the project uses food as both material and metaphor to explore identity, migration, memory, and belonging.
The resulting stories, images, and recipes are published as a growing, publicly accessible online archive that reframes everyday people as culture-bearers and ordinary items as artifacts worthy of study and preservation.

Aftercare Space was a participatory art installation that functioned as a transitory space for creative meditation and conversation after visitors exited the intense sensory experience of IN/OUT/THRU︎︎︎.
All the items in this communal crafting space were carefully selected to facilitate playful and tactile exploration of ideas and materials featured in the show.
The Aftercare Space Art Archive features the drawings, poetic musings, scribbles, and sculptures thoughtfully created by the visitors of the PUSH/PULL Exhibition Project.

A quilted immersive installation that transports viewers to the inside of their psyche, where cognitive dissonance is visualized by geometric patterns and chromatic tension. Sit in the overwhelm that comes from reckoning with who we are versus who we want to be (individually, collectively, societally).
