By considering food making as a way to reenact diasporic memories and cultural identity among Indo-Surinamese migrants in the Netherlands, “Eat the Artifact” attempts to link people and objects in a non-linear way. The project elaborates on the mutually constitutive relationship between bodies and food, and on cooking as a performance. The exploration of alternative modalities to do research on embodied knowledge resulted in the production of a series of Surinamese traditional food in ceramics, in which physical objects are handled as meaningful cultural constructs rather than inert matter.
