Food & Family Videos Houston has become known as a food mecca, but its roots/routes are drawn directly from its diverse communities. As an exhibition, Food & Family explores the synergistic role that each of these – food and family – plays in enhancing the cultural significance of the other. The exhibition samples the notion of family as a food delivery system in both its simple (e.g., the domestic kitchen) and its complex (e.g., the ethnic grocery store or the family restaurant) manifestations, while simultaneously treating food as a powerful cultural marker in many aspects of family life, from religion to ethnicity to regional identity.
