Valeria Santos Núñez is a cultural anthropologist, archeologist, and food scholar. Her work delves into the creation of meaning and its material representation through culture. Her focus of study is within Mexican and Puerto Rican culture centering communitarian and de-colonial approaches to research. Valeria’s ongoing project highlights the role of foodways in the cultural self-assertion and inscription of Mexican people living in the diaspora. Currently Valeria is playing with audio installations and sonic constellations to showcase ground-roots archives of culinary knowledge.
