Workshop
2026

Part collage-night, part-show-and-tell, part-potluck, IN MY CART encouraged participants to explore the stories that our shopping baskets, grocery lists, and pantry staples tell us about who and where we are, who or where we’re “from”, or where we’ve been and who we are actively becoming.
