Ofrendas Rituales de Comida

Seguimos nuestra alianza con Parsons School of Design. Hablamos con la estudiante Chel Chan, que propone cómo los rituales populares taiwaneses podrán seguir existiendo en un futuro sin que los ingredientes ceremoniales necesarios estén disponibles. Por ejemplo, en el año 2100 las medusas habrán reemplazado al cerdo como base ritual y alimentaria de su país. El profesor Alonso Castro explora estos nuevos símbolos. Chel Chan también trabaja con la organización Send Chinatown Love, apoyando a los negocios pequeños de Chinatown, Nueva York.

This week, we continue our collaboration with Parsons School of Design. We speak with student Chel Chan, who speculates how Taiwanese folk rituals might continue in a future in which the necessary ceremonial ingredients are no longer available. In the year 2100, rising sea levels will make traditional farming less practical – and perhaps the ritual staples of pork and chicken will have been replaced by jellyfish. We’ll explore these new cultural symbols with professor Alonso Castro. Chel Chan also works with the organization Send Chinatown Love, which supports small businesses in Chinatown, New York.
