"The needing of collaboration comes because we ourselves are collaborations of culture. [...] We’re not pure. I collaborate in the kitchen: I make Japanese soy bean curry, Indian style. I think in English, or in Hindi-or French. Our lives are collaboration, because we don’t belong to one culture.’’ - Kiran Ahluwalia, Boston Globe, November 19 2011 |
