An exhibition focused on the relationship between food, culture, and identity had to close up soon after it opened in the University Museums in February. The write-up for Off the Menu said it “creates a place for shared connections over a subject that is as popular on Instagram as it is in family celebrations and religious histories.” These days, the images — and just the notion of getting out for an art exhibit — are reminders of the lives we’re hopeful to resume soon.
