Food for Thought

As part of their coursework in ART 315: Special Topics in Graphic Design, Illinois State University Wonsook Kim School of Art, Professor Archana Shekara's students created information design posters about one dish from their ancestral heritage and traced its history, ingredients, and relevance. Students also researched national identity, language, art, and design. Through conversations with their family, students discovered the significance of the food they had long taken for granted. Each poster expresses the designer's unique cultural background. Food for Thought invites audiences to celebrate different cultural heritages through diverse cuisine.
