LAS MANOS DE MI MADRE

Published in Re-enactment Recipes Cook Book 

Winner of the 2019 Design + Community Engagementn award

Conceived and distributed by OK Stamp Press Montreal, Kanien’kehá:ka

Las Manos de mi Madre // My Mother's Hands, was inspired by the women in my family, by traditions, folklore, and corporal memory. By positioning the process and repetition of recreating and re-enacting a family recipe,  recipes then become both culturally infused methods of making and creative writing.

The act of cooking and eating transforms into an investigation on interpersonal relationships, colonial legacies, hegemonic education and thought—the formation of identity, and a means to access and communicate affect and memory.
