Sushi Discussions is a project that uses sushi as its medium to have difficult discussions. Sushi has become a modern cuisine that people from around the world enjoy, but it was derived from China between the 5th and 3rd BC. It was known as "the poor man's diet." The hard topic of discussion this project was based around is how sushi became Americanized, and how they adapted such a traditional simple food into more peoples diet. Another hard discussion related to this topic was the idea of sushi being classified as a delicacy, as well as a a "snack" that someone can easily pick up from the grocery store.

Throughout this past studio, I feel as though I have grown mostly in engagement and collaboration. I learned about the history of sushi through my research, and also learned about sushi culture. I feel like my group collaborated well together, and came back with successful ideas to share after researching.
