A mural commissioned by Spice Bridge and the City of Tukwila that uplifts women-led entrepreneurship
Did You Eat Yet? is a 9 ft x 10 ft permanent wall mural commissioned by Spice Bridge and the City of Tukwila that uplifts the stories of the immigrant and refugee women-owned businesses at the food incubator. The mural pays homage to the universality of sharing love through a home-cooked meal and highlights the act of cooking as a powerful, feminist gesture—the passing down of cultural traditions through the moms, aunties, and sisters in the community.
The artwork features signature dishes from the 14 food vendors that call Spice Bridge home:
