Critical Coding Cookbook
2022
The Critical Coding Cookbook is a project lead and edited by Xin Xin and Katherine Moriwaki that perceives history as a messy entanglement rather than a linear graph. There is a growing awareness towards reclaiming ancestral knowledge and a movement to decolonize computation. Through centering marginalized bodies and identities, we aim to build a collection of alternative histories, narratives, and approaches to computation.
The Critical Coding Cookbook website was built to contain the volume of material and contributions from artists, technologists, writers, performers that can serve as an open-source educational resource across a spectrum of learning communities.
Visual Identity, Web Design, and Web Development were all handled by me.
Content Import was handled by Xin Xin. PDF Version currently in development by Munus Shih.
The website was designed using Figma, built using Kirby CMS and used WCAG AA guidelines for Compliance.
