The performance Cooking with Mama illustrates this approach. Here, the artist invited people with a history of migration to call good friends and relatives and to cook their favourite dishes in front of an audience. To this end, he has developed a street kitchen bike inspired by food stands in Iraq and Syria. For Politics of Love, this mobile kitchen will travel to three public cultural venues in different parts of Hamburg over the course of the exhibition, where it will be used to engage with the local communities, thus expanding the exhibition into the urban space. Shared culinary experiences create encounters capable of prompting dialogue and, by sharing the recipes, extending beyond the performance period itself.
