identidad que se cocina (2020)

« Have you ever had the impression, in front of a simple plate of food, to be transported into your memories? These memories are part of our identity. Throughout our lives, identity is constantly negotiated, especially among those affected by the migration process. For migrants, the culinary culture of their country of origin helps them find points of reference in their new life. Through her research, Marilia traces the reconstruction of the migrant identity of Peruvian women in Switzerland through culinary culture. »

This short film accompanies her book “Migration and culinary culture among Peruvian women in Switzerland: An identity that simmers to (re) build".
