Maya Minder (born 1983 in Zurich; lives and works in Zurich) “Cooking transforms us” is a theme that runs like a thread through Maya Minder’s work. For her, cooking serves as a metaphor for the human transformation of raw nature into cooked culture, and she connects this with evolutionary ideas of a symbiotic coexistence between plants, animals, and humans. Drawing inspiration from the biohacking, maker, and third-space movements, she facilitates collective storytelling through food and cooking.
