Krish Dineshkumar
I’m a cook, podcast producer and sound artist. Cooked Until Tender is a project through which I offer catering services and food-related programming across the city of Toronto. The aim of Cooked Until Tender is to teach people how to cook and facilitate discussions around food insecurity, communal care, gender equity, and food ethnography.
My sound art practice calls on sonic affect to invite (or provoke) confrontation around the political, historical, and the spiritual. I always look to intertwine archival audio, recorded interviews, and found sounds as a way to acknowledge the clarity that can be found within the past, and present; with hopes of informing our collective future.
The approach I apply to all of my work involves building empathy and agency. I seek first to understand, and then to be understood.
Take a look at what I’ve worked on here.
