published on our website
When:
rough draft/s by Jan 5
What:
illustrations accompanying a feature article about the student meals from the First Peoples' House
Who:
currently for The Gateway volunteers or any current student enrolled in the U of A
The feature talks about how the free monthly student meals at the First Nations' House brings the First Nations, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) student community on campus together. It also talks about how food plays a significant role in many cultures and the importance of having a space specific for FNMI students from a first-person perspective.
The food mentioned in the feature are stew and bannock, KFC, bannock tacos, fresh fruit, and sandwiches. We're currently in the process of asking for reference photos of the meals so I'll make a follow-up email to send the reference photos your way.
A minimum of 1 illustration is required for the article header but preferably would like to have 2-3 illustrations embedded in the article along with the article header illustration (so total of 3-4 illustrations).
