The Identity Potluck is a recurring series that aims to understand how creatives of multicultural heritage navigate their identity. The series spotlights their understanding of representation through food. The imagery created features elements native to the creative, and how these elements impact the method in which they have reclaimed their nuanced sense of self. The third edition of Identity Potluck focuses on @djjeffdxb of @sticknobillsdxb, commonly referred to as DJ Jeff, a Malayali-Christian DJ living in Dubai. In this round, Jeff delves into his third-culture concept of “home”, the lack of South Asian representation in music spaces within the Middle East, and his journey that turned his cultural confusion into creative clarity.
