Food For Thought: Telling Stories Through Words And Images

(Kamran Adyinov)“Feel it. Feel what they are doing. Feel the wind.Food is opening up this door for me.It’s an avenue, a travel ticket, a passport, a means to the end.There are ghosts and memories in his kitchen.You could lay all your burdens down and dine together.”Those words are part of Food for Thought: an invitational group exhibit that tells stories about food through words and images - set to open this fall at the Jewish Cultural Center here in Chattanooga, in partnership with the local media startup Food as a Verb.An open call for people to submit their images for the exhibit ends on Monday, August 5th.Ann Treadwell is with the Jewish Federation of Greater Chattanooga.David Cook is co-founder and main writer of Food as a Verb.
