The Concept

Still Other Collective presents Topographies, a collaboration between two central forms of expression within South Asian cultures : food and art. Both emerge from lived experience, shaped by memory, environment, and everyday life. Bringing them together offers a way to engage with the multiplicity of a culture.

Taking place in Paris from 16 to 20 September 2026, this first edition brings into dialogue three South Asian diaspora artists whose practices are rooted in distinct geographies, Goa, Delhi, and Karachi. Their works are presented alongside a series of culinary interpretations, each developed in response to the artist’s personal history and the regional contexts that shape their practice.

What we stand for

Feeling "damned if you do, damned if you don't" isn't just another immigrant trope. For us, it took on a life of its own. While abiding by the stereotype put us in one box, defying it put us in another, ensuring we were trapped in an endless loop of identity crises.

This helped us recognize that while interpersonal encounters might be unique to an individual, the feeling of being the 'other' is to a great degree, universal.

Join us, as we break free from this cycle, by tapping into the sense of belonging and identity that FOOD & ART have always presented.

We draw on our South Asian heritage to impart experiences that render nuance, emotion & depth to generalizations of a culture by emphasizing the hands that shaped it.
