Organizer Information:
We are Studio 106, a female-led curatorial collaboration between Marjian Tsatsaros Tyagi and Ariana Martin, captivated by the cultural impact and personal significance of food as expressed through contemporary art. We are interested in its importance to social bonds and identity, its effects within economic and political powers, its environmental urgencies and biological intimacies. Our aim is to work toward curatorial projects that challenge and impact audiences, while working with artists on their developing practices.
Description:
We are compiling a Cookbook collection of shared recipes by artists and creatives for an upcoming publication. With the goal of continued quarterly publications, each edition will include approximately 10 recipes.
We are interested in the intimacy of connecting over meals, how a method of cooking or the significance of ingredients shapes our sense of self, and bonding us to others. As part of this we are thinking about how sharing a recipe is a way to encounter and understand another person. We would love to meet you through your recipe.
Tell us any recipe with significance to you: elaborate, simple, meaningful, or casual. We welcome additional descriptions, stories and contexts.
We would also love to know how the recipe exists for you: is it in a cookbook, on your notes app, written on a scrap of paper or just in your mind? Feel free to send us documentation of how it’s recorded, as well as photos of the dish itself.
What to submit:
- Your recipe (digital or physical)
- Your Name & title of the dish
- Optional: Contact details
- Optional: Further descriptions, images/audio/film, documentation
Note: Not all information will be published, such as contact details. Let us know if you would like anything else to remain private.
Medium: Text, accepting additional 2D visual documentation (photography, scans, screenshots etc)
Eligibility: Open to anyone
Location: Online and a London, UK based publication
Deadline: Sunday 30 June, 2025 No fees
