    "abstract": "<p>Amordidas Acompanadas: Deported Recipes of Survival is an autoethnographic and community-engaged project that examines how deported parents and their children re-generate connection through food. My parents were deported on May 9, 2012, one day before Mother’s Day, when I was sixteen years old. They lived in exile in Tijuana for twelve years, staying as close as possible to their children in South Central Los Angeles. The rupture created by this distance grew over time and intensified after my mother passed away in December of 2024. In searching for a way to live with this loss, I turned toward food. Cooking became the method I needed to move forward and understand how deported families survive separation.</p>\n<p>This project centers the recipes I learn while cooking side-by-side with deported parents in Tijuana. Each meal carries stories, memories, and strategies of endurance. I turn these meals into recipe cards and bring them back to their children in the United States. These recipes operate as acts of accompaniment that allow parents to continue caring, teaching, and loving across borders. Foodways become a pathway to remember, heal, and enact reunion despite the impossibility of physical proximity.</p>\n<p>The installation concept for Amordidas Acompanadas reframes the kitchen as an altar. After my mother’s passing, the kitchen became a space where I return to her lessons through cooking and offer my version of her recipes as an offering and a testament to her love. This project will make selected recipes, reflections, and documentation openly accessible through eScholarship to support community learning and preserve food-based knowledge created in the context of deportation.</p>",
