Ceres is thrilled to return to MOFAD for an evening of film, food, and conversation. As part of the Spring 2026 Festival, Ceres will screen two short films:

Arepas en Bici follows chef Víctor Aguilera as he cycles across San Francisco, weaving together memories of immigration with his dream of sharing traditional Venezuelan cuisine.

Birria Landia offers a behind-the-scenes look at José and Jesús Moreno, brothers from Puebla, Mexico, who brought the vibrant flavors of their hometown to a beloved food truck in Queens.

From NYC to California, these films celebrate the enterprising spirit of immigrants and the powerful ways food and memory keep people connected to home.

Following the screenings, NYU Food Studies professor Krishnendu Ray, interdisciplinary artist and scholar Sarah K. Khan, and chef and culinary tour guide Esneider Arevalo will join us for a conversation exploring the intersections of food, migration, and memory.

Light bites and drinks will be served.
