Non-Binary Kitchen
The question: “How can I as a maker/designer contributed to new world-views and new forms of living to create a more just world?” is always my starting point for new projects. Influenced by intersectional feminist theory my works formulated the answer(s) to this question through shapes, materials and spaces that call for social change, inclusivity, tantalization, mindfulness, playfulness and action. Working across multiple fields my work blurs the boundary between design, architecture, fine art and landscape.
Non-binary Kitchen is a new age take on the kitchen, that aims to reshape the gender binary through its design. Collaboration and mobility were the key design goals that have been used to achieve this purpose. By means of bringing the kitchen design back to its primeval elements, the Non-binary Kitchen brings back a more labor intens form of foodwork, which simultaneously stimulates collaboration. The campaigns for “kitchenless” houses by the western feminist movements starting in 1978, inspired the work to be an object in space, mobile and reconstructible instead of the oppressive traditional fixed and/or separated kitchen design.
