I stumbled across a fab exhibition featuring iconic Canadian food packaging by the amazing , reinterpreted with Inuit language on them. It’s called ‘Let’s Go Quickstop’, a popular phrase in the northern territories that refers to grabbing food from a convenience chain of the same name. She says that these are all the products she grew up with, fondly remembering them on grandmother’s table. These are happy memories for me too, particularly Crosby’s - molasses cookies made by grandma. Packaging design is thought of as being fleeting & disposable, but these iconic designs become part of your own fond recollections. I would love to buy some of these if they ever become available as prints 😍 The whole exhibition made me smile
