COME SIT AT MY TABLE is an open invitation of friendship. By inviting people to sit at your table, they learn about your culture, and you about theirs. “By breaking bread together” all cultures signify an open extension of being accepted and welcomed. Toronto has a history of immigration that shares its culture through food. My process was initiated with memories and oral stories dating back to my great-grandfather and grandfather who fled China due to famine and political unrest to seek fortunes and to send money back home, much like today’s political immigration stories. We shared food as an extended family growing up in my grandfather’s rooming house populated by single men stranded in Canada, due to Canada’s Exclusion Act barring Chinese immigration and permanently separating families. Our food history is shaped by immigration and even more so in the present with over 140 languages being spoken in Toronto. Food is a common factor that makes each culture unique and binds us together with one- tool for dialogue and meeting place. Food is central to the sharing of culture and a way to communicate acceptance.

COME SIT AT MY TABLE
COME SIT AT MY TABLE
COME SIT AT MY TABLE is made up of images that are an invitation of friendship to people who may be very different than you are, but who can become friends by sitting and eating with you. “Breaking bread” together signifies an open extension of being accepted and welcomed. Toronto has a history of immigration that shares its cultures through food.
