Notes

"Bia! – meaning 'food' in Irish and 'come' in Igbo – is a community storytelling project. Through the words and images of immigrant and diasporic communities in Ireland, Bia! seeks to document our commonality, counterbalance mainstream food narratives, and celebrate how immigrants and diasporas assert their presence in Ireland through food. Bia! Zine is the self-published physical representation of the voices, the food, the stories, and the histories of marginalised communities in Ireland. It highlights how food can be a site for marginalisation and uncertainty and explores identity, cultural heritage, resistance, community, and commensality."--From zinesters' website.
