Our lives are structured around eating and are reflected in the diverse food we eat. Food provides not only sustenance, but also a defining sense of culture and identity to us all. While food has always been synonymous with celebration and gathering, it is also inextricably linked to more challenging issues around income inequality, gender norms and biases, human consumption and waste, health, the environment, and labor. With human life and culture centered around eating, it is not wonder that the foods we eat not only provide a strong sense of identity and community, but also intersect with many of the important issues facing the world today. We look forward to sharing a plate with you, as we engage the community around art and food this summer!
