Cherokee Street: a Collaboratory for Edible Ideas (2011)
Collaboration with Firecracker Press and Latino Americana, in conjunction with the 2011 SGCI Conference in St. Louis, Missouri.
The Cherokee Street neighborhood in St. Louis, Missouri boasts a socially and culturally diverse community of individuals who have invested their lives and families into the growth and future of the neighborhood. In an effort to encourage collaboration in the neighborhood, we offered the Printmaker's Special, a taco meal with edible prints inspired by the people of Cherokee Street. The first 200 customers also got a zine with interviews of people in the neighborhood, postcards, and stickers.
