Morris Lum, Joy Wong, and Stephanie Yee bring together large-scale photographs with installation and sculptural works that use experimental materials like MSG and symbiotic cultures of bacteria and and yeast (SCOBY). Through these ingredients, food preparation techniques, and vivid images, their distinct ways of working connect aspects of food culture that are significant to Chinese diaspora communities with intangible assets like care, authenticity, and belonging.
