Mix & Stir presents new outlooks on contemporary art from global perspectives, in the challenging format of a cooking book. It intends to encourage studying art beyond national constraints, cultural dominances, and hierarchies: a voyage similar to that of a culinary discovery. We bring a variety of tastes and flavours to the table, and break new ground by allowing innovative, contrary, queer, idiosyncratic practices and discourses, theories and topics, methods, and concerns to access art in its global dimensions.
