Focusing on a sampling of local ritual food traditions connected to transitional moments - from daily acts of prayer and hospitality, to the singular experience of migration - this exhibition explores the universal role of food as a mediator within human, spiritual, spatial, and temporal relationships. (Almost) Too Good to Eat demonstrates some of the cross-cultural ways that food nourishes not just our bodies, but also our social and spiritual lives, feeding our human needs for comfort and communion.
