Atlas of Multivocal Kitchens: Immigrant Spatial Practices and the Making of Elsewhere at Home
About this Event

Atlas of Multivocal Kitchens: Immigrant Spatial Practices and the Making of Elsewhere at Home explores how everyday kitchen practices, including cooking, sharing food, and organising domestic space, shape experiences of home, memory, identity, and belonging in contexts of migration.

We are particularly interested in speaking with women and homemakers who are migrants, immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers, or visitors to the city. We would like to learn about food cultures, culinary traditions, everyday routines, and the spaces where cooking and gathering take place.The project seeks to encourage dialogue and social integration while recognising the cultural knowledge and diversity that migrant communities contribute to society. Through food and domestic practices, it offers a positive perspective on migration, highlighting the richness, creativity, and connections that emerge through the process of making a home elsewhere.

Please bring photographs, objects, recipes, or stories that reflect your kitchen and food traditions. These can be digital or physical and may include memories of kitchens, cooking spaces, family meals, or culinary practices from your past or present home.
