Let’s Share in the Moment:
A Dialogue Around Eating

Hayoon Jay LeE | Jamaica FLUX, June - August 2021

In "Let’s Share in the Moment: A Dialogue Around Eating," Hayoon Jay Lee collaborated with King Manor Museum, the South Queens Women’s March (SQWM) team, and poet/educator Cheryl Moskowitz. The project is composed of five parts including a rice lab and capsule installation, a poetry installation, as well as a table dialogue and video documentation by videographer Hong PD (Chun-Gee Hong) that takes place inside both King Manor’s kitchen and dining area. The video work features a conversation the artist hosted with Kelsey Brow, Executive Director of King Manor Museum, Cheryl Moskowitz, poet and educator; and members of the South Queens Women’s March including Aminta Kilawan-Narine, Founder and Director; Tannuja Rozarion, Founding Board Member, and Nirmala Singh, Founding Board Member. The documented dialogue revolves around King Manor’s history and youth educational efforts in the community around food, the ways in which food can be political in relation to community, the SQWM food pantry, as well as the pandemic’s impact on food security and wellness.
