A critical examination of the politics embedded in our food archives reveals the end uring influence of caste and colonial legacies.\n\nWhat factors determine the foods we come to know and consume? Join us for an intimate panel discu ssion with Vinay Kumar\, Sumaiya Mustafa and Rajyashri Goody\, moderated b y Divya Kandukuri\, as they interrogate how social hierarchies\, particula rly caste\, have sculpted Indian culinary narratives. Whose recipes are en shrined in history books as exemplars of 'authentic' Indian cuisine\, and whose remain overlooked? How do these dynamics manifest in the power of na ming—whether plants\, recipes\, or adaptations for Western appeal?\n\nUl timately\, how might food serve as a transformative force to celebrate ide ntity\, belonging\, and community?\n\nIn Part 1 of this panel series\, we bring together artists\, researchers\, and professors who examine food pol itics through the lens of caste. Part II explores the topic with a focus o n food systems.\n\nThis programme is in conjunction with MAP's ongoing exh ibition Paper Gardens: Art\, Botany and Empire.
