Setting a Bigger Table: Reconsidering American Foodways
August 2022 - April 2023
Throughout history American Foodways has been understood largely through the lens of the white, (northern) European, middle-class experience. Yet, as we know, countless cultures and people have grown or foraged for ingredients, cooked and created dishes, and eaten together to build community and given meaning to the practices and experiences surrounding food in the United States.
This exhibit seeks to tell the stories and celebrate the ingenuity of these unrecognized and underappreciated groups.
