Cookie Jar 1: Home Is a Foreign Place

0/5 ( ratings)

Cookie Jar, a pamphlet series of the Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant, gathers five new pieces of writing by grantees that take on home as an unruly site of inheritance, memory, and imagination.

In her masterwork Home is a Foreign Place – from which we borrow the title and cover image for this volume – the artist Zarina wrote, “The titles of my work always come to me before the image. Language ties my work together. Urdu is home.” Titled Home, this is the first of thirty-six woodblock prints that recall the artist’s childhood residence in Aligarh, India. Even a partial list of Zarina’s titles – Threshold, Courtyard, Shadows, Fragrance, Despair – reveal how the viewer is invited into the sensorium of Zarina’s elusive idea of home.

The essays in this first volume of Cookie Jar, varied in scope and approach, illuminate the interior landscapes associated with home. Collectively, they demonstrate the fearlessness – and the tenderness – with which writing may yet encounter art.
