My Recipe, Our Potluck explores how our communities view cultural resilience and resistance through a lens of food and gathering. Using food as a storytelling vessel, Yuko Okabe and Teen Artists collected stories from each other and from community members through interactive workshops and translated those stories and observations into illustrated works.
They worked with and learned from community members who touch different parts of the food ecosystem—farmers, chefs, food vendors—as well as everyday people who need food as sustenance. Through these experiences, the artists learned about the technical aspects of how food travels through the industrial pipeline, while also discovering how they connect their identities and culture to food.
