Description
The exhibition combined photojournalist portraits by J.M. Giordano with audio interviews produced by Aaron Henkin, documenting the workers who prepare and distribute over 88,000 meals a day to food-insecure students. Working within a limited budget, the design team repurposed surplus school cafeteria furniture and used an "Educational Bauhaus" graphic style throughout the gallery. It received a 2024 SEGD Global Design Award (Merit, Exhibition).
