FILLER ZINE 08: The Kitchen- Preservation (Essay)

  • Magda Nawrocka-Weekes

FILLER is a self-published food magazine by Holly Eliza Temple, exploring personal experiences and narratives of our relationship with food through each issue’s theme. Issue 08, The Kitchen, invites responses examining the spaces in which we cook and eat: the materiality and meaning of what we consider a ‘kitchen’ and how we behave in these spaces, exploring our own desires, needs, emotions, and bodies — as well as the places we inhabit, the people around us, and the rules we, or others, impose upon these places and practices.
