What does it mean to reclaim the soul of a symbol? For generations, Black American artists have taken images once used to oppress and turned them into powerful expressions of pride and resilience, from Betye Saar’s transformative assemblages that reframe images of racial stereotypes with defiance, to Nina Chanel Abney’s expressive works that capture the dynamics of everyday life from family cookouts to jazz, hip-hop, and gospel.

When it comes to Larry Bell, the Taos- and Venice-based artist is best known for his contributions to the Light and Space movement and his striking sculptures, installations, and mixed-media works. Yet his innovative, and idiosyncratic approach follows over to his chili verde recipe. “Make it exactly as the recipe is written, then eat this chilli!” Bell instructs. The artist’s materials of choice? El Paso green chilis, spanish onions, and lean-cut pork.

Time and timelessness are entangled in artist Laurent Grasso’s moody environments. The Parisian painter and filmmaker’s paintings and multimedia work embody a poetic detachment, featuring both topographies of a remote past and alarms of a near future. “I try to create places with invisible power and radiation,” he tells Family Style.

“I have eight sisters,” says Theaster Gates as he takes a seat, “so I’m always thinking of them.” We’re in a cylindrical chamber, and the artist is on the second of three brown sugar oatmeal-colored rows. A dramatic skylight pulls reminders of the harsh Abu Dhabi sun just above us into the cave-like space, and a gradient violet backdrop behind us contrasts the dark domestic carpet, forming a scene that is inconceivably beautiful in a language that only Prada can articulate.

Soul music is a force that shoots off in every direction, landing deep in the heart of the believing listener, the dancer, and the D.J., reverberating in the bass that shakes the floorboards. Like the comforting taste of a bowl of gumbo, soul music nourishes the heart. As a chef, I’ve always been fascinated by the relationship between food and music, especially ours in Black culture. They both carry a deep connection to our history rooted in resistance, expression, and joy.

When I tell people that I haven’t left New York City in years, they react as though it’s a medical emergency. Invariably, they offer advice on how I can alleviate the problem, telling me that there is no amount of money not worth spending to leave now, as if the situation is something that can only worsen with increased delay. They offer destination ideas. First, far off ones, like Europe and Japan.

The flavors of my youth are steeped in soul, from a dark roux to the sweet, unexpected piece of ham at the bottom of the greens pot—the heart of the dish that everyone forgets about. My family's Bay Area roots are by way of Arkansas, a product of the Great Migration, in which over 6 million Black Americans left the rural South to start anew and escape racial segregation and economic hardships. Their stories, preserved in the dishes they brought with them.

Taos’ dirt is sacred and bloodred. Overhead, the Sangre de Cristo Mountains ascend to the heavens and break into valleys that cradle the sun before popping its yolk into a shadow. Like all great places, it contains a dualism that splinters off into many directions. The tiny county at the northern tip of New Mexico is a place anchored in its past—both of ancestral knowledge and of settler colonialism. Spanish rancho. Century-long art haven. Forever home of the Taos Pueblo people.
