Abstract

Food, community, and religion are key parts of Black culture. All of our family gatherings are always paired with food. It’s a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation alongside some of the recipes that will be discussed. The dinner table is a symbol of connection, and through research from primary sources- such as family members, secondary sources from Black American-centered cookbooks, and Black artists who explore their culture through photography. Shown in the form of collectible cards, recipe book, and dinner table setup this project explores how photography can portray the subtleties of Southern Black American experience from my eyes.
