Ariel present #ssuarrasa 01
The debut episode of SSUARRASA features our friends and colleague Sarnt Utamachote from Unthaiteld. The episode kicks off at Movingpoets Novilla, where Ariel and Sarnt team up to cook the infamous Thai street food dish, Pad Kra Pao. Amidst the cooking process, Pad Kra Pao becomes a catalyst for conversation, sparking discussions around culinary culture in general and offering reflections on the diasporic significance of certain national dishes, often viewed through the lens of "nation stereotypes," particularly from the perspective of the white gaze and its romanticized and problematic perceptions. The dialogue transitions to the ASSOY pop-up installation, where they talk about the high and the low being southeast asian living in berlin, past and current practice, being fragile and ecstatic, and so on. This episode also includes Ariel's recipe for Pad Kra Pao and a selection of tunes curated by Sarnt.
