Consumption, Culture, Community

Art Alive at MWPAI: Kids work on arts and crafts during the Art Alive event on Oct. 8 at Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute. This Dinner table was from the still life photography of Rose Marasco who is the first photography instructor in the late 1970s at the Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute School of Art. Soojin designed the dinner plate craft concept for children as a part of MWPAI Artist in Residency program.

Commonly used emoji expressions were introduced to children before making sweet faces. Children combined sweets from many different cultures to make human facial expressions.

Fortune cookies are often found in Chinese restaurants in the United States, but are not a original tradition in China. They were the product of Chinese culture through the lens of consumerism in U.S. Children made paper fortune cookies of their own to wish their loved one's the best luck.
