Throughout history, food and culture shape each other through availability, trade, migration, and globalization. Today, climate change, the pandemic, and the war in Ukraine are the latest to disrupt our diet. But how do we tell the stories of these changing systems and better understand how they affect our lives and what we eat?
Foodio is a storytelling and data visualization studio in which students will explore historical and contemporary issues around culture, accessibility, immigration, and supply chains. Students will design culinary experiences that illustrate and flavor the broader context of current issues, how they came to be, and what they mean for the future of food through delicious interactive elements!
