How to Cook a Wasp
explores the passing of
intergenerational, intra-communal,
and interspecies knowledge
amongst Asian food worker communities
on Coastal Salish land (Seattle, WA).

Recordings of wasp hunting stories and seaweed foraging
are interwoven in space and time. 
Conversations-in-passing become
vital oral histories.
