Abstract:

Food is something that permeates daily lives of individuals, satisfying a basic human need. But it is also part of a broader perspective, as a cultural element that varies from one region to another, influencing various aspects of the lives of people and communities. Thus, this work aims to study artistic images and diverse works of art as a way of representing affective memories related to culinary culture, an aspect present in many immigrant families.

The aim is to rescue Brazilian cultural aspects and contrast them with the emotional aspects resulting from the culinary influences of the author’s family. In addition to discussing ways of presenting the diverse cultural influences that permeated Brazil, the study refers to the author’s personal poetics, which involves revisiting foods and facts related to cuisine, memory and culture, developing work that is lively with artistic praxis.
