Food for Thought 精神食粮

Food is key to creative investigations into cultural exchange. Recipes carry inter-generational knowledge; cooking and sharing meals brings us together across cultures and borders. China Residencies celebrates its anniversaries with worldwide dumpling parties, and residencies often start off with a big welcome dinner. China is home to hundreds of complex culinarily cultures, with much more delicious and intricate histories beyond the officially-recognized Eight Great Regional Cuisines.

食物是在文化交流的创造性研究中的关键。食谱具有代际知识;烹饪和共享食物使我们跨越文化和国界而聚在一起。中国艺术交流在庆祝自己的周年纪念日时,在世界各地举行饺子聚会,而驻留项目也通常以丰盛的欢迎晚宴开始。中国有着数百种复杂的文化,除了官方认可的八大区域菜系之外,还有更多美味和复杂的历史。

But food production is also central to all socio-political systems, where the vast majority of those who cook for us across the world are mothers, caretakers, and the often underpaid and overworked labourers in precarious situations -- undocumented migrants, barely making minimum wage, and ever-evading crackdowns on mobile vendors. Our local and global food systems are tied into commodity markets fraught with the interlinked issues of sustainability and scarcity, accountability and deceit, cultural heritage and appropriation.

但粮食生产也是所有社会政治体系的核心,世界上绝大多数为我们做饭的人都是母亲、看护人,以及处于不稳定状态的经常薪酬过低、工作过度的劳动者——无证移民,几乎没有最低工资,而且总是需要逃避对流动小贩的打击。我们当地和全球粮食系统与商品市场联系在一起,充斥着可持续性和稀缺性、问责和欺骗、文化遗产和占有等相互关联的问题。

We are looking for projects that nourish communities in ways that push back against, work through, and build upon our food complex systems through a commitment to creative inquiry: 

我们正在寻找项目来滋养社区,通过致力于创造性的探究来回击、工作和发展我们的食物复合系统:

Crystal on her sanlunche, photograph by Silva Jaehrling

Crystal baked to exchange -- to spread delight, colour, joy, and the aspects of her particular upbringing she wanted to pass on. She retrofitted a sanlunche and biked through Beijing trading her hybrid treats for anything non-monetary. The sanlunche rode again, reprised as Kira’s ice treats exchange with crowdsourced recipes from Iran to Italy, created in the kitchens and freezers of independent art spaces across Beijing in 2016.

Crystal通过交换烘焙糕点——来传播快乐,多彩,喜悦,和她想传承下去的特别的成长方面。她改装了一辆三轮车并骑着穿梭在北京,用她的混合物来换取任何非金钱的东西。2015年三轮车又开始穿梭了,换成了Kira的雪糕,她与来自从伊朗到意大利的众包食谱进行了交换,并在北京各地独立艺术空间的厨房和冷藏室里发明了这些食谱。
