Literally meaning “What fish is there today?” or “What’s the fish today?,” this research-based project explores and archives the disappearing aromas of Goan cuisine. Goa’s culinary culture, shaped by local traditions, seasonal rhythms, and Portuguese influences, carries a deep sensory memory. Here, food is more than sustenance; it is an invisible thread connecting people, homes, and histories. With changing lifestyles and the rise of air-conditioned spaces, this sensory landscape is shifting. Homes are becoming closed bubbles, trapping and silencing the smells that once defined shared experience.

The project is a part of Smell, Memory and Food Systems. In the context of food systems and climate change, smell becomes an act of resistance, remembrance, and imagination. This curation looks to invite audiences to experience olfaction beyond nostalgia, to explore the worlds that have been erased, ecosystems in flux, and the futures we dream of tasting.
