Based on the experiences of chef-anthropologist Cristina Consuegra and her piece Tamal de telita, developed as part of the project “What Feeds Us? From Hearts to Stomachs in the Collection of the Bogotá Museum Of Modern Art” by Júlia Farràs, we propose an approach to the collection of the Bogotá Museum of Modern Art (MAMBO) from the perspectives of cooking, affection, and listening. We understand taste as a legitimate way of knowing and as a form of dissent against hegemonic and hierarchized artistic ways of knowing, highlighting the unexpected processes that emerge from experimentation and from transgressing the boundaries of art, museum studies, and the culinary field.ArtHegemonyTastePhotographyModern artVisual artsArt historyAestheticsDissentHumanitiesarticle
