Join us for a gathering of conversation and inspiration with one of the works featured in our current exhibition, Éramos Semillas / We Were Seeds. While sitting with Chalet Comellas-Baker's work, Recipes for the loss of a sense of belonging, alchemical transmutations, Salude!, we'll use dialogue and activities to learn about the artist's specific experiences and search for a deeper understanding of our shared ones. Read the artist's statement of the work below. 

"Passing down recipes and embracing cultural food practices has been one of the few meaningful ways for me to connect with my Cuban American ancestry. In preparing and consuming foods that are connected to my matriarchal lineage, I actively perform the role of officiant in a ceremony of remembering and memorializing multiple generations of my female family members whose identities were often regulated to their roles in the kitchen and other domestic spaces. By creating these temporal memorials, I make space to ruminate on their contributions and through an intersectional lens, while attempting to better understand the concentric circles of loss that surround these women."
