About Foodstories:

Overview
The purpose of foodstories is to explore the idea that food can be a bridge to who we are as individuals and as a human collective while also creating community. Our relationship to food intersects with our sense of identity, culture, class, religion, and other aspects of our
human identity.

Project Goals

*Engage community members through partnerships with schools, institutions, and community organizations, focusing on gathering stories connected to aspects of food, memory, and identity.

*Inspire personal reflection and dialogue about the role food has played across our life spans within different parts of our lives.

*Create an artifact that will be shown in a public exhibition that brings together food, memory, and identity. This exhibition will include other artists and will feature the collected foodstories.
