Whose Plate, Whose Palate?

The act of eating traces and retraces borders. While in some instances food transcends borders, in others it sets unbending boundaries as to what food should constitute, and who you can eat with. Discerning these borders within art practices that look at foodscapes can help us understand its transformative nature.

And how for Dalits, the cooking and consumption of food can act and function as markers of solidarity and belonging, as well as exclusion.
