Curiosity Cabinets offers an opportunity to be curious about different cultures through foods.

Sharing and appreciating recipes, ideas, photos, videos, and knowledge related to food and culture encourages people to want to have a deeper understanding of other cultures as well as their own culture.

It can be started as a very simple curiosity such as, "How do I eat this?" or "What food do our neighbors eat?”
However, our Curiosity Cabinets installation is designed as an interactive work of art. Interaction or communication between people is the core concept of this work.
Please take foods and/or microgreen seeds home to grow them. This is a way you can participate. If you have time, give us your feedback--- you are a part of this creative and interactive art project.

We will have a microgreen display during the months of February and May of 2023 as part of the Curiosity Cabinets project.

Also, we will have interactive cooking demonstrations starting in January 2023 at the Oregon State Extension Office, 1211 SE Bay Blvd., Newport, OR 97365.
