we are 

"we are" is a thesis exploration challenging traditional barriers through the lens of Generation 1.5, a group of individuals who have experience living in multiple cultural atmospheres, and the syncretism of cuisine.

Food tells the story of us. It reflects our cultural identities and can act as a vehicle to share this aspect of ourselves. What better way to connect than through food?

Through a podcast series entitled “Cuisine of Culture”, we explore the concept of Gen 1.5 and how food plays a role in their culture. A photobook publication accompanies this body of work; exploring food commonalities that revolve around various food cultures in our world today. Click here to browse the digital publication of the photobook publication.
