A Gallery of Curiosities, mapping a journey through a Museum & Cultural Management postgrad Program at Centennial College, Canada.

During my program in 2020 - 2021, I was intrigued by the concept of Cabinet of Curiosities. It reminded me of the sideboard my parents had in my younger days. In the wooden sideboard, they kept treats like Treetop fruit powders which we enjoyed mostly on Sundays, they had soda streams and all the paraphernalia to prepare the fizzy drinks, they had mementoes and little souvenirs they’d picked up on trips and travels. Through that sideboard, I learnt about things of interest, places and journeys, and what they considered treasures. In a similar way, this gallery of curiosities curates themes, subjects, projects, and experiences of interest to me, on this journey of food explorer-curator-researcher. I hope you enjoy looking through it.
