About Us
Bia! is a zine that:
explores the political, emotional and physical reality of migration in Global Majority* communities in Ireland
documents the commonality between immigrant and diasporic communities
counterbalances mainstream food narratives
celebrates how immigrants and diasporas assert their presence in Ireland through food
* Global majority refers to people who are African, Asian, Latin American, of mixed-heritage, Indigenous to the Global South or have been racialised as 'ethnic minorities’.
Bia! is an archive of:
our culinary histories, heritage, lived experiences and collective hopes
Bia! is a co-created space where we can:
excavate our memories
have cross-cultural and intergenerational dialogue
radically reimagine the cultural and culinary landscape of Ireland
