The idea that food builds community and bridges cultural identities is often taken as a given. I wanted then, to imagine a workshop series that looks at the ways pop food culture has failed to deliver on its promise of community-building and equity.
By considering non-conventional food actors, I hope the workshop’s participants can interrogate whitewashing and appropriation in a food culture dominated by celebrity and social media-dominated food culture. Can we build more intentional communities of care?
