Research Environment
Zaikanama operates outside a single institutional structure but remains closely engaged with academic and public conversations around food history.
The work moves between archives, kitchens, classrooms, and community spaces. Each project contributes to an evolving body of research that examines food systems, domestic life, and everyday history in the Indian subcontinent.
Research within the House unfolds through several practices. Each examines food from a different angle and contributes material to the archive.

The Zaikanama Archive
Research at the House contributes to a growing archive of food histories from the Indian subcontinent.
The archive includes recorded oral histories, vernacular culinary texts, documentation of domestic food practices, and field observations on ingredients and food ecologies.
Much of this material remains private while the archive continues to grow. Selected fragments appear through publications, exhibitions, and public conversations.
