Sour Puss is a food project centered around queerness and collective wellbeing. 

Utilizing cooking as a creative discipline, our goal is to collaborate with artists and spaces to prioritize community care and celebration. 

To us, cooking feels like an authentic medium for communicating our purpose. Collaborating with artists and community spaces allows for multiple mediums of expression to coexist and intermingle, thus highlighting how joint expression forms a moment larger than its individual parts.

By transforming tables into connective spaces and ingredients into creative expressions, we invite guests and collaborators to fully engage with the present moment and each other.
