https://yilinghung.comA Storytelling Food Tour In Your Neighbourhood
Foreign Body, Foreign Story, Foreign Place
Food plays a role in shaping the sense of belonging. For a migrant, eating food from home is more than filling up the stomach, but also, through eating together, a community can be formed within which people have a shared memory and experience. It seems like ""consuming home food"" might separate the migrant community from the local community, but in YiLing’s view, it's actually not. Through making the home food in the host country, a migrant will become familiar with the local supermarkets or grocery stores since not all the proper ingredients can be found in the foreign grocery stores. A migrant learns the new environment and the new environment also shapes this person's behaviours at the same time. In this ongoing cycle of familiarising and being shaped, a migrant slowly dwells into this new place.
This project is a one-on-one tour which will take place in your neighbourhood. While walking through different grocery stores to find ingredients to make Taiwanese dishes, artist YiLing will share her personal stories linked to those dishes.
Select the dishes that you would like to hear more of the stories behind, and YiLing will customise a unique storytelling food tour for you.
