Exploring the Mexican roots of Filipino cuisine through art pieces and vintage cookware.

To celebrate the launch of Exploding Galaxies’ “Sarap: Essays on Philippine Food” and “Palayok: Food through Time, on Site, in the Pot,” Archivo 1984 held a special exhibit curated by artist and food historian Claude Tayag. He shared stories behind the food we eat, inspired by lessons from Doreen G. Fernandez.

The show explored the Mexican roots of Filipino cuisine through artworks and vintage cookware—highlighting how food serves as a vessel of history and identity.
