Taste Memory
Blender

Food is a powerful gateway into other cultures, however the stories are not always apparent. 'Taste Memory' features pixel art renditions of dishes from cultural minority groups within and around China. The artworks are in the style of 'cute' pixel art depicting food popular in the 2000s on the internet and in games. These minorities are facing past or ongoing persecution affecting the survival of their identity. However, food can be a strong defense against cultural erasure, especially for migrants, so long as we understand where it comes from.
