Nourishing Culture: Greek Immigrants & Food in Chicago
Peggy Glowacki, archivist in the UIC Library Special Collections Department, is the curator of a new exhibit at the Hellenic Museum and Cultural Center. The exhibit, Nourishing Culture: Greek Immigrants & Food in Chicago, examines the role that food played in the story of Greek immigration to Chicago and the evolution of Greek American culture. As immigrants negotiated between the culinary worlds of Greek cooking and American food, they and their children developed new Greek American traditions and nourished an emerging Greek American identity.
The Museum is located at 801 S. Adams, 4th floor. The exhibit opens March 10th and runs through September., field_56ba6f8fdb00c
