The First School is the Dinner Table” is a journey by Filipinx-Iranian artist Aida Azin into the nexus of art, food, and cultural memory. Her work is primarily concerned with examining cultural viewpoints and self-representation. Intimate spaces like this one allow food to serve as a potent storytelling, connecting, and resisting tool. In her works, Azin urges viewers to consider the material and symbolic meaning of food in society and beyond.
