As we begin wrapping up our current exhibition, Cinematic Point of View, which closes on June 28, we are excited to launch our next community-centered project, Bread & Salt: Food as Memory + Connection.

Bread & Salt is a multidisciplinary exhibition that explores food as a cultural and emotional storytelling medium. Through artwork, recipes, objects, photographs, and personal narratives, the project examines themes of memory, migration, ritual, care, belonging, and place-based identity.

The project includes three connected components:
