Eating Asian: Listening to Asiatic Femininity in the Kitchen

Ariel Urim Chung

My mom was a stay-at-home-mom. But the ‘stay-at-home’ part always felt inadequate, because she never stayed at home. “Eating Asian: Listening to Asiatic Femininity in the Kitchen” is an analytical and reflective work on creating The Kitchen Project, Baik’s relative oral history practice, sound studies, and Asiatic femininity portrayed through consumption.
