Un Pa Mi, Un Pa Bo, Un Pe

TSA_PDF Un Pa Mi, Un Pa Bo, Un Pe

Publication designed and curated

November 16 - 30, 2020

Tiger Strikes Asteroid is pleased to present it’s newest TSA_PDF project, curated by Rachel de Cuba. “Un Pa Mi, Un Pa Bo, Un Pe”, is a phrase traditionally repeated as the rhythm used for stirring Funchi. Funchi is a staple on the Caribbean island country of Aruba. This simple cornmeal dish is a family connector and is a testament to the power of foodways to communicate between places and time.

The content in this printable exhibition features folks who work within their communities to examine power structures as well as personal relationships with foodways. In many cases involving visual representations of the power and labor of growing, harvesting, sharing, and consuming food resources. This collection hopes to provoke questions around how creative community members can visually represent and shift how our connections to food, particularly the growing, gathering, and cooking occurs within and impacts our own communities. We hope that each person encountering this show is nourished and can bring new thoughts to their own foodways.

I Hope I Thank you Enough

I Hope I Thank you Enough is a multimedia installation built for the New Orleans Film Festival Cinema Reset exhibition. The handwoven curtain of cotton acts as a backdrop to a vertically placed screen featuring looped digital video featuring scanned images, contemporary moving images, and an audio interview. The work allows for an intimate moment in high traffic area of the film festival, allowing folks to perform the action of listening and allowing space for empathy and a moment of quiet contemplation. The woven curtain features hand dyed cotton yarn and was woven in strips on Leclerc counterbalance floor loom, then pieced together on a sewing machine.

The work in NOFF Cinema Reset 2019 was supported by a Grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation
