For months I’ve waited in anticipation for the start of Eat: Food Culture, Materiality, and Design. My own recent experience as a professional baker, my academic work in the social psychology of food and sustainability, and nearly twenty years of working as a graphic designer all seem to have led me to this perfect moment.
Our first day came, and with excitement reminiscent of my early teens I took a seat amongst a vibrant and varied group of new faces for our introductory lecture. I experienced this day as a vibrant blur of images, people, and conversations that now come back to me as slices and snippets, moments, flashes, and impressions that I cannot recreate, but merely suggest at with this small montage.
