sabores que cruzan océanos
(photography + interviews)
Sabores que cruzan océanos explores the intersection of migration and food, highlighting how culinary traditions travel across continents, are preserved, and evolve. Through personal stories of migrants and second-generation individuals, the project showcases the deep emotional and cultural connections tied to food.
At its core, the project features three individuals who bring Peruvian cuisine to Switzerland: Caroll Cárdenas, who runs a Latin American grocery store, Christina Tobler Orbegoso, co-owner of two Peruvian restaurants, and Magdalena Marca Bossert, who has made a name for herself in Peruvian cuisine with her market stall “La Magdalena.” By sharing their migration journeys, challenges, and experiences, Sabores que cruzan océanos illustrates how food serves as a cultural bridge, carrying memories, identity, and a sense of belonging across generations and borders.
This project was part of a collaborative publication featuring contributions from multiple people. The publication examines migration in a wide range of contexts. Here is the link to the publication:
