Drawing upon personal memories of the Spanish tortilla, Fingers Become Knives tells the story of my mother’s migration and my later migration. It unpacks ideas about care, colonialism, housework and diaspora. With influence from Deleuze’s ideas of ‘becoming’, the narrative explores how identities (with an emphasis on national and gendered ones) are under constant social construction and performance, being naturalised through everyday routines, such as the act of cooking.
