Who Has a Seat at the Table?

These panels were from the exhibit "Who Has a Seat at the Table?", curated by Aaron Castillo, which explored the histories of five displaced communities in Providence, Rhode Island: The Narragansett Tribe, Colonial Black Heritage, Chinatown, Lippitt Hill, and Fox Point. This exhibit provided context by detailing what happened to these communities and examining how food and foodways served as a means of remembrance. Along with each history was an accompanying piece by artists Dana Heng and Nafis M. White that explored food and memory within the respective communities, which revealed how we can preserve and remember these communities' legacy through food. While the artwork and archival materials are not included, it conveys the ephemeral nature of communities lost to displacement. It is the hope of this author that more permanent spaces of remembrance can be created in the future.
