About the Program
Gabriela Aceves Sepúlveda's Remediating Mama Pina’s Cookbook is a three channel video piece that approaches the artist’s great-grandmother’s cookbook, as an archival technology that speaks to the generational transmission of gender roles, social status, and cultural memory. Through her attempts to recreate the various handwriting styles, instructions, and recipes from the cookbook, the artist reactivates the archive and raises questions about the nature of what can constitute an archive, the relationship of archival content and form, and the divisions between performed and recorded knowledge.Identifier
