Letterpress: Black Food Series

For my first foray into the art of Letterpress printing I decided to create a series of prints focused on Black Food Culture.

Black Folks Black Folk, we are the authors of our culinary traditions. We respect the hands and labor that has gone into every dish. We value the stories and rituals that are a part of the cooking process. And we commit to telling our own stories.
Our Plates From the different cities, regions, and countries that we come from, the ingredients on our plates tell our stories! Letterpress print on French paper 9.5" X 12.5"
Migration/Revolution As people of various diasporas our people have migrated, fought, liberated and sustained themselves in different parts of the world and it can be tasted in our foods. This print honors all of the recipes and dishes that speak to
