Exhibition summary

This exhibition by Ana Núñez Rodríguez delves into the symbolic information packed within the humble potato, exploring themes of identity, domination, and social differentiation. Through collected stories, the potato becomes a metaphor for human resilience, survival, and the roots of identity in shared narratives.

Curatorial context

Ana Núñez Rodríguez's exhibition, 'Cooking Potato Stories,' invites visitors to consider what a potato can reveal about ourselves. By gathering local 'potato stories' from around the globe, including her own experiences of migration between Spain, the Netherlands, and Colombia, Núñez Rodríguez investigates the potato's capacity to hold a universe of symbolic information regarding identity, domination, and social differentiation. The exhibition presents the potato not only as a product and cause of violence, famine, and migration but also as a symbol of survival, sharing, belonging, and family. The continuous transformation and adaptation of the potato serve as a powerful metaphor for human resilience and for how our identities are shaped by the narratives we share. Visitors can also engage with the 'Potatonality Test,' an interactive game designed to reveal personal connections to the potato's rich social history.
