Become a Foodstories Partner!
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. Also, it is understood that not all food-related memories or stories are warm and cozy. Some of these stories may be connected to discomfort or trauma. As a result, individuals who choose to participate can remain anonymous.
GOALS
Engage
Foodstories will engage community members through partnerships with schools, institutions, and community organizations, focusing on gathering stories connected to aspects of food, memory, and identity.
Inspire & Create
Foodstories will inspire personal reflection and dialogue about the role food has played across our life spans within different parts of our lives and create an artifact that will be shown in a public exhibition that brings together food, memory, and identity. A feature of this exhibition will include the collected stories.
Collaboration
Foodstories will invite other artists to participate in the public exhibition and share work related to some of these themes.
FOODSTORIES APPROACH
The stories will be collected through a combination of online submissions, physical locations, and events. The stories will be featured in a culminating multimedia exhibition in 2025 and an exhibition book. To request a packet that has more details about Foodstories, click here.
