Our Food Story

A group of Newtown residents who came to New Zealand as refugees recently held a pot luck dinner, where they shared food from their childhoods. A series of portraits were taken of the refugee cooks with their dishes, and these are now being exhibited at the Green Street Gallery in Newtown. We speak to one of the organisers of the community event, Our Food Story
