Overview:

Food is an important pillar of culture. It's what brings people together; it’s about family, tradition, and celebration. Food is where fusion happens. Mixed Up is a conversation about the desperate need for belonging and what it means to embrace your culture in New Zealand today. Led by Jess' introspection as she quietly cooks in a lonely studio, we meet four other women of colour: Hannah and Elizabeth, Nicky, and Matilda. Guided by a recipe and defined by different cultural experiences, we find parallels and similarities across their stories - mixed feelings of pride, shame, longing, and inspiration.
