The goal of The Cobbler Project was to preserve the roadside cobbler trade through an event
featuring a time capsule displaying various artefacts alongside a photo essay journal. The event
titled 'Homage & Salvage' was created with the idea of paying homage to the cobblers that salvage
our shoes. The event featured a website to spread awareness as well as print advertisements.
A journal was created to preserve the trade through interviews, photos and
on the ground research, which will, in turn, educate the audience on the traditional trade.
