In the 2022-2023 academic year, C21 hosted the Nourishing Trust symposia which focused on the relationship between trust and food. To further connect to how people engage with food and the importance of trust, the Story Cart was transported across Milwaukee throughout the summer to document peoples’ food journeys. The Story Cart and the Story Cart team visited grocery stores, farmers markets, block parties, and food centers across Milwaukee County and encouraged people to share their stories. This summer, the Story Cart team visited more than 25 locations and collected over 175 interviews.
The mobility of the Story Cart allowed the team to quickly set up a small recording studio where people could learn about our mission and share their food journeys.
This exhibition was created from samples from the interviews collected by C21.
