Cherokee Street: a Collaboratory for Edible Ideas

Cherokee Street: A Collaboratory for Edible Ideas
Screenprint on tortillas, edible ink, zine
Collaborative Project for 2011 SGCI Conference: Equilibrium
In collaboration with Eric Woods (Firecracker Press) and Carlos Dominguez (Latino Americana)
The designs for the tortillas were inspired by conversations with business owners and residents of Cherokee Street, St. Louis, Missouri during interviews conducted over a period of 2 months in 2011.
 
The ink was 100% edible, colored with food coloring.
The first 200 individuals to order the "Printmaker's Special" (three tacos for $2.00) received a zine. The zine contained interviews with residents and business owners of Cherokee Street, postcards, stickers, and other Cherokee Street inspired texts.
Eric Woods of Firecracker Press letterpress printed excerpts of the interviews onto tissue paper with food-safe inks. It was an exciting way to see their words come together with the images we designed and printed on the tacos.

Customers begin to trickle in....
The crowd builds....
and builds.......!
The first hungry customers arrived at 5:00 pm, and we continued printing until 11:00 pm. During that 6 hour period, we printed 1,500 tortillas and sold 500 Printmaker's Specials!
