You Are (Not) Invited

About

Sit down at our table, listen to our food, and let us take you on a journey to our kitchen of food, family, and maternal figures. Asian food is the fastest growing cuisine in the United States. Asian hate crime has risen exponentially in the last few years. People love our food but fail to love us. Do you love 'Asian' food?

You are (not) Invited is an immersive sonic installation of The Kitchen Project. How do we create affinity spaces in public through listening?
