The On Hosting mind map template is a scholarly and artistic framework designed for researchers, curators, and practitioners exploring the intersection of social practice and identity. This 76-node cheat sheet provides a structured analysis of hosting as a creative medium, specifically focusing on the concept of Cultural Dysphoria within British Asian women's identity. It covers theoretical foundations like Relational Aesthetics alongside practical case studies such as the Sheffield GLOAM Gallery. By examining the Artist as Host and the communal Practice of Langar, the template serves as a conceptual model to deconstruct binary ideas of ethnicity and gender in contemporary art. It bridges the gap between material practice—including food, textiles, and sculpture—and critical interventions in performance and film.
