This event will celebrate the creation of the Shoebox Lunch, an interactive and multisensory book in box form. The GARLIC & GREENS initiative explores the intersections between food heritage, migration history, social justice, the arts, and disability studies.
The Shoebox Lunch focuses on connecting vegetable gardening to cooking traditions through a tactile documentary book. It makes a special effort to reach audiences with low or no vision because Black Americans are at a higher risk for sight loss from glaucoma, diabetes and hypertensive retinopathy.
Copies of the book will be available but quantities are limited. Your purchase will allows the book to be shared for free with people who are low or no vision.
