The Covid-19 pandemic has led to a significant shift in the way we consume food. Watch More
Artist (and RADII contributor) Krish Raghav has just had a beautiful new work published in The New Yorker. Entitled “Quarantine Cooking: Finding Relief from Coronavirus Anxiety in the Kitchen,” it looks at one of the many ways that people under quarantine in China have looked to alleviate the boredom and uncertainty that comes with spending long periods indoors amid alarming reports of the spread of a deadly virus.
The story of culinary-themed catharsis in the midst of coronavirus is told with the kind of warmth, insight, and visually-pleasing presentation that are hallmarks of Krish’s work. It also weaves together food art, Laoganma chili sauce, and even a reference to Wuhan band Chinese Football.
For The @NewYorker, I drew a comic about cooking under the COVID-19 quarantine in China. I watched over 30hrs of vlogs and videos to amplify stories of boredom, resilience, disquiet, creativity, loneliness and all of the Instant Noodles: https://t.co/lxE2L2tzdP
