Potluck 001 (Tableau + Artifacts)

Participatory Installation
2025
This installation is the first adaptation of the Diaspora Dumplings project for a gallery setting. Titled Diaspora Dumpling Potluck 001 (Tableau + Artifacts), the work presents the project in two ways: first, it gives a glimpse of the pilot Diaspora Dumpling Potluck + Archiving Party (held in September 2024), and second, invites exhibition visitors to co-author the DD project by contributing their own set of story-based recipes to the archive.

Exhibited in EXperimental at Box13 ArtSpace January - Februrary 2025.

Diaspora Dumpling
Potluck + Archiving Party

Event
2024
At the Diaspora Dumpling Potluck + Archiving Party, eight participants shared the edible results of their exploration of the richness of food as medium.

Each guest chef was challenged to invent, prepare, and share their very own diaspora dumpling, defined as “an inventive, cross-cultural food item made to be eaten in multiples—necessarily composed of a mixed filling that is wrapped in dough before being cooked. An edible medium for sharing who you are and where you come from.”

A Time For Action
Curatorial
2021

A curated evening of installation-performances designed to question the boundaries of “performance” through staged conversations reckoning with the ways that we each have internalized, perform, and sustain white supremacy on a personal and institutional level.
