My Grandma’s Kitchen
A narrative project that demonstrates the everyday rituals that happen when my grandma is in the kitchen. Her ordinary actions became the memory, as it also brought life to the space and preserved tradition. The narrative documents how food is more than a meal, it is culture, family, and identity. I want to capture those moments to demonstrate how the kitchen holds memory and tradition.
A large fold-out map of the kitchen itself, where each “landmark” (ex. the stove, the cutting board, the sink) unfolds with hidden notes, smells, or photos. The kitchen is the narrative landscape.
A deck of cards where each card is an ingredient, a step, or a memory and the audience will shuffle and reorder to create their own “meal.”
