Martha T'Hooft, Paso à Paso

Paso à Paso, A social and artistic project in which food is used to make central American migration negotiable and where the focus is on the universal necessity of food in all its forms.

The work started in Mazatlan, Mexico with Las Patronas, a group of women who cook daily for passing migrants, where Martha T’Hooft was working as a volunteer for a couple of months. The work became a collection of recipes, intervieuws and pictures. The project can be seen as a trip through a no man’s land of culture, language, religion, origin, customs, taste, that symbolizes the wanderings of migrants.
