2015 Art and Change Grant – $2,500

Mir’s Alu Bukhara Junction is a food memoir and blog that explores displacement, loss, difference, ethical food practices, and shared cuisines of the Islamic world. Mir wants to investigate her own fractured memories as an immigrant from Bangladesh and the historical background of different recipes. The blog allows Mir to tell her story as a secular Muslim and South Asian woman who is sometimes at odds with her chosen home in the United States because of continued racism and Islamophobia. She hopes Alu Bukhara Junction will demystify the “otherness” of her identities through the story of food and contribute to the fight against the increasing Islamaphobia both nationally and across the world.
