My culinary performances are immersive, interdisciplinary rituals where food becomes a conduit for storytelling, memory, reading the landscape and critical inquiry.
I use the language of the kitchen and landscapes, their gestures, scents, textures, and tensions, as a way to navigate histories of migration, displacement, famine, extinction and belonging. Rooted in research and often developed through collaborative processes, each performance has unfolded as a shared moment of reflection, transformation, and intimacy.
Whether I’m assembling a dinner in the mountains, cooking inside the metaphorical (and literal) belly of the beast, or offering dishes drawn from the migrant body, my aim is to softly unsettle dominant narratives around culture, identity, and land. I often work with inherited recipes, reinterpreted ingredients, oral histories, and ancestral techniques, allowing the act of eating to reveal the entanglements between food systems, labor, gender, and geopolitics.
These performances are ephemeral, sensorial archives. I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Durjoy Bangladesh Foundation on Inside the Belly of the Beast, 2025, Augustine Paredes on Feast From The Migrant Body, 2024 (supported by Art Dubai) and The Dinner in the Mountains with Moza Almatrooshi, 2022 (supported by 421).
