Nadia Hernández: Walker Street Kitchen Exhibition

Multidisciplinary artist Nadia Hernández presents Walker Street Kitchen, a new exhibition exploring how memory, cultural knowledge and belonging are carried through food. 

Developed through collaborations with Dandenong Market traders, growers, gardeners, chefs and community members, the project follows food from garden to market, kitchen to table, tracing the stories, skills and relationships it carries. 

At its centre is Hernández's first moving image work, a three-channel video and sound installation, created with videographer Timothy Hillier and composer Lucreccia Quintanilla, presented alongside textiles and sculptural works. Together, these works reflect on the politics and poetics of food and the everyday ways knowledge is passed between generations. 

Presented by Greater Dandenong City Council. Curated by Miriam La Rosa.
