The Open Kitchen with Taller Estampa and Marina Monsonís 

Reflection on the possibility of creating an archive that represents what The MACBA Kitchen has been over the past seven years leads us to question hegemonic archival practices. In The Kitchen, each body is a repository of knowledge transmitted through the senses and through oral and gestural memory. 

Based on this possibility and with the help of the Taller Estampa collective, we present a cartography constructed together with the voices and experiences of the community that gave life to this space. For this new creation, Taller Estampa took inspiration from a long line of cartographies devoted to questioning the function of maps as producers of dominant truths. The result is a view that traces the affective and material geographies of The Kitchen. 

We thought it necessary to explain that The Kitchen is fed tumultuously from the inside out and from outside in, and that as a receiver of individual and community learnings it has been the seed of projects and groups that share principles and pedagogies beyond our stoves.
