Archival history
MERL miscellaneous note - Artist Yoshi Israel Dominguez Angeles was part of the First Food Residency which took place over 8 weeks in the summer of 2016. The First Food Residency is an artist exchange between Mexico and the UK, initiated by Antonia and Anna Bruce in 2014. The focus of the residency is to build a creative dialogue between the two countries. Artists in residence are invited to research 'essential foods' from their host country, and are encouraged to meet and work with local people and other artists. The artists drew upon the collections of the Museum of English Rural Life and the University of Reading’s Special Collections for inspiration. The Residency culminated in an exhibition. http://www.firstfoodresidency.com/. This print was exhibited in the ‘Food in the Frame’ exhibition, held at the Institute of Education, University of Reading (01/09/16 – 04/09/16).
