From Food Stories to Dutch Colonialism: Benjamin Li’s Art and Photography at FOAM Amsterdam
Benjamin Li, a Rotterdam-based artist, explores identity, heritage, and colonialism through food, focusing on the unique cultural space of Chinese-Indonesian restaurants. His latest exhibition, In Search of Perfect Orange at FOAM Amsterdam (until Dec 1, 2024), recreates the ambiance of these restaurants using photography, video, and artifacts, offering a lens into migrant experiences and the colonial ties between the Netherlands and the East Indies.
