London Design Festival
For the London Design Festival, I had the privilege of collaborating with Ms. Florence Hawkins and Ms. Shana Pagano Lohrey on our project "Possible/Probable Worlds," which celebrated the vibrant culinary landscape of Elephant & Castle. Through meticulous research and documentation, we delved into the diverse local cuisines, endeavoring to highlight their origins, cultural significance, and health benefits. Utilizing environmentally sustainable vegetable inks crafted from scraps sourced from local cafes, we created striking screen-printed posters that served as visual narratives of the area's culinary richness.
Running from September to October, our exhibition offered a captivating exploration of Elephant & Castle's culinary diversity, inviting viewers to engage with the area's cultural tapestry through the lens of its cuisine. The project was a testament to our commitment to creativity, sustainability, and community engagement, serving as a platform for celebrating local heritage and fostering a sense of pride within the community.
Additionally, a screen printing workshop held during the festival provided an interactive opportunity for participants to delve deeper into the project, experimenting with natural dyes and contributing to the creative process. Through "Possible/Probable Worlds," we aimed to not only showcase the richness of Elephant & Castle's culinary traditions but also inspire meaningful connections and conversations within the community and beyond.
