TOK EXHIBITION Object 2: A Sourdough Starter with a Family Recipe
- Theme: Knowledge and the Knower
- Rationale: A sourdough starter, accompanied by a family recipe passed down through generations, symbolizes the personal and communal aspect of culinary knowledge. This example showcases how specific cooking methods and recipes can embody a family’s or community’s history and traditions, suggesting that such knowledge, while shareable, holds particular significance and belongs to those who keep its history and practices alive. It raises questions about the transmission of personal and communal knowledge and its role in maintaining cultural continuity.
