© Mayar El Bakry
is an interdisciplinary designer, researcher, curator, and hyphen collector. Her current projects focus on shifting identities and how food/cooking can be a means of mediating these ambiguities and entanglements. She is interested in creating spaces of exchange, collaboration, and dialogue. Her approaches are deeply rooted in decolonial, intersectional feminist and post-migratory 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.
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.
