“You Are What You Eat” A Multi-Sensory Art Experience by Rima Rokh
Hosted by Rima Rokh and curated by Mestika, You Are What You Eat is a multi-sensory art experience that looks at food as more than something we consume. 🍊
Through the senses, it explores how food connects us to our identity, memories, culture and the stories we carry with us, not only physically, but culturally, emotionally and generationally.
