DIASPORA RECIPES

multimedia (short film, interactive installation, stop-motion, stills)

Diaspora Recipes is a multimedia installation (short film documentary + animation + photo series) taking a closer look at the intersections of food culture, migration, colonization, and identity. It follows two Asian women immigrants in Spokane, WA – Noreen Hiskey and Joan Pascua – as they talk about their journey into the United States, walk us through their passion for food and cuisines, and navigate the challenges of introducing recipes from their home country while integrating into their new home community.
