ABSTRACT
I moved to Portland, Oregon, in 2009 to attend the MFA program in Art and Social Practice at Portland State University. Throughout my tenure in Portland, I have collaboratively produced an assortment of cookbooks with/for/about different publics. These are catalysts for building relationships, conversation, and resource sharing. Most of these were facilitated with group meals and recipes exchanges through my inclination for being a host. I am also the Artist in Residence in the Education Department at Portland Art Museum, and I have an interest in using hospitality both in the front of the house and behind the scenes. I will discuss one of these projects, “Meal Ticket.”
