A conversation with Sarita See.

Sarita See is author of The Decolonized Eye and The Filipino Primitive, Media and Cultural Studies professor at UC Riverside, and founder of the online exhibition space, Center for Art and Thought. We discuss the complicated history of colonization in the Phillipines (and lasting effects on the diaspora), Edward Said's orientalism, Karl Marx's primitive acumulation, the importance of curation in a digital (trash) age, and how to criticize Asian diasporic art as a member of the Asian diaspora.

And yes - this all ties back to food.
