Food Is Our Love Language Mural
As a founding member of AAPI Heritage Month Cincinnati (Est. 2021). I wanted there to be a public art component that celebrates Asian American culture. We partnered with an Asian American nonprofit group, the Asian American Cultural Association of Cincinnati, to make a bold statement through art to respond to the rising hate crimes against Asian Americans in the early years of the pandemic. I worked directly with the mural artist, Anissa Pulcheon, and stakeholders (Procter & Gamble, Agar) from concept to execution.
The mural, titled “Food Is Our Love Language,” is at the historic Findlay Market on the side of Saigon Market, Cincinnati’s oldest Asian market.
MY ROLE:
Reviewed concepts and provided feedback to Anissa, the featured muralist
Worked with the printers to assess timelines and any parameters needed for the vinyl material used for printing
Final Concept Mock Up
DEBUT FOR THE MURAL
The mural was revealed at the end of May in 2021.
