Exploring design as a method of inquiry, my investigation into gender socialization and discrimination revealed the profound political nature of food and its material implications for gender roles. Choosing to scrutinize the seemingly mundane aspect of 'food,' particularly the Indian flatbread known as Roti, I unravelled its symbolic connection to women in a patriarchal society. Through various conceptual explorations, my critical design experiments delve into the intricate interplay of food, gender inequality, and societal expectations. Rooted in fiction and speculation, these experiments aim to challenge assumptions, sparking debates on respect, equality, autonomy, and freedom within the Indian context of middle-class, patriarchal lifestyles.
