Following Comida Casera, the collective workshop presented earlier in Fall River, Evelyn Rydz returns with a new iteration of the project that moves from the communal table into the aisles of Portugalia Marketplace. Developed from recipes and stories gathered through conversations at Comida Casera gatherings, Across Aisles: Recetas de Casa takes the form of a series of recipe-stories distributed throughout the supermarket. Imagined as a collective archive, each card brings together ingredients and instructions across generations and geographies to approach a recipe as more than a practical guide: it can also carry a story, a relationship, or a way of remembering home.
