Cheng’s “A recipe is a treasure map to find home”, her first project in the US, is a participatory art project and exhibition exploring the intimate connection between food, memory, and migration.
Over the next month Cheng will invite guests (particularly, immigrants who have lived in LA for at least 5 years) for one-on-one interviews, to share the family recipes that hold deep personal and cultural significance. Through these stories, Cheng seeks to illuminate how culinary traditions act as vessels for identity, connection, and resilience across generations and geographies.
