From Mill to Memory: A Journey of Food Practices in Exile

Research output: Contribution to journalBook/Film/Article review

Abstract

The 2024 documentary Aisha’s Story centers on the life of Aisha Azzam, a displaced Palestinian woman who uses food to create an entire world of belonging, identity, food security, growth and care for her family and community. Scenes of picking herbs, exchanging ingredients and recipes, cooking, baking, and eating together as a family, illuminate the everyday life of Palestinians living in exile and the extraordinary practices of resistance that maintain connections to Palestine’s past, present, and future.
