Homes Away From Home: Finding Belonging Through Food Spaces
Where do we feel at home? Anas Chao explores the sense of belonging through restaurants and food spaces, turning consumption into an act of memory and identity.
For many of us, “home” is no longer confined to family or the walls of our residence. In our daily lives, restaurants, street food stalls, and familiar dining spots provide a sense of comfort, a bridge between our roots and the ever-changing world we navigate. Homes Away From Home by Anas Chao delves into this connection, exploring how food and memory shape our sense of belonging. Through stories of restaurants that evoke a feeling of home, the artist shares his journey through shifting identities, temporary communities, and the new connections forged around a meal.
