Dishes of the Diaspora at Philadelphia Folklore Project

Pascale Boucicaut and Adachi Pimentel (ACG ‘15), a culinary artist and photographer respectively, have been exploring African heritage foodways throughout the city of Philadelphia, visiting the kitchens of ten cooks and gathering stories, histories, and recipes as their 2015 Art and Change Grant project.

The resulting exhibition, Dishes of the Diaspora, offers a curated look into the ingredients and modes of preparation used by these cooks, and celebrates the local culinary tapestry of African diasporic identity. Visit the Dishes of the Diaspora website for background stories about the people and foods featured in the exhibition.

The show will remain open through March 2017 with programming to accompany the exhibition.

Gallery hours for Dishes of the Diaspora are 5:00pm to 9:00pm on November 16, December 7, January 18, February 15 and March 15.
