In partnership with The International Culinary Center, a team of Groundswell youth artists from diverse cultural backgrounds created a beautiful new mural celebrating the home cooking traditions of their families, inspired by the artistic legacy of Master Chef Jacques Pépin. The finished work is a poignant reminder of the power of food to move us, transform us, inspire us, and bring us home. During the five-week design and fabrication process, our youth muralists, all of them low-income New York City teenagers, had the singular opportunity to engage with Master Chef Pépin and learn from his extraordinary culinary and artistic talents. The collaboration between Groundswell and The International Culinary Center exemplified both organizations’ shared commitment to expanding opportunities for talented young people.
