as needed draws from the language of recipe writing, where instructions adapt to taste and availability rather than fixed measurement. A recipe is a set of instructions used to prepare and cook food. The exhibition reimagines the form of recipes by inquiring the question of ‘what more can a recipe be?’

Bringing together artworks by Firi Rahman (b. 1990), Rajyashri Goody (b. 1990), and Sarah K. Khan (b. 1964) the exhibition explores how knowledge is transmitted through everyday practices such as writing, conversation and bodily action. While reflecting on how access to literacy and resources shapes what is recorded and preserved, and how forms of domestic and cultural labour are often made invisible.

Focusing on processes of making rather than the final dish, as needed invites viewers to consider how cultural memory is sustained through ordinary, repeated acts.
