The Conch Girl: Impersonal Intimacy through Home-Cooked Meals in NYC
Sidian Liu
Friday, March 22 - 4:00PM to 4:30PM
Westmoreland
The Conch Girl Project is a visual, socially engaged project that utilizes cooking to co-nurture the mutual care for strangers in New York City. I migrated to New York City in 2021 from the opposite side of the globe. Dealing with my sense of displacement, I have been asking strangers to let me use their kitchen in solitude. In return, I cook them a meal. In a time of globalization, migration, and crisis, this project seeks to create experiential chances for healing kinship and emotional solidarity within a densely populated metropolis.
