For this year's open call, we were interested in Miami artists' perspectives on the culinary textures of family history, the choreography of shared meals, the resilience embedded in inherited recipes, and the creativity that emerges when cultures meet and mingle. Artists were encouraged to reflect on how food becomes a language of remembrance, a tool of resistance, a marker of identity, and a bridge across generations. This exhibition honors the flavors that traveled here by boat, by plane, by memory, and by necessity, and the people who continue to keep those traditions alive.
