Mayar El Bakry
is an independent designer and researcher.
Working in the peripheries/borderlands of design, she merges diverse approaches and disciplines in her practice. Currently, she’s focusing on food and cooking as a means to create spaces of discourse, exchange, collaboration, and dialogue in, between, and outside of (design) institutions. Her approaches are deeply rooted in decolonial and intersectional feminist studies and practices.
Next to her research and commissions, she's a guest lecturer at various institutions. When she's not on the move, you'll find her in her studio with her dog, drinking coffee and contemplating next steps.
Collective
Cocinas Alterinas is a collective practice with Gabriela Aquije Zegarra that explores food as a means to reflect and meditate on plural visions of design. Either by sourcing food, cooking or eating together, we look into kitchens as spaces of care, recreation, and resistance. We create hybrid communal processes, digital and/or analogue workshops with local and global communities, based on long and short-distance complicity.
