Here is another art exhibit and installation about food. What is Taste is a memory project by Taiwanese artist Wu Mali which deals with what food means to us, and the memories - good and bad (mostly good) - which are associated with it. What were our comfort foods when we were growing up? What do memories of these culinary items engender in our sensibilities, or say about us as consumers?
Her project includes short films about life, food and cooking on Cijin island, off the coast of port city Kaohsiung in the south of Taiwan. Accompanying it are written and visual responses by people from all around the world, mostly children. It was interesting to see their responses, and the various reactions they bring about. There were touching ones, as well as a silly one. As they say, it takes all kinds.
This exhibit runs till 10 August 2026.
