FEATURED PROJECT

FOOD: A Convening

FOOD: A Convening brought together artists, cooks, farmers, writers, and organizers working at the intersection of food, art, and ecologies.

Across two days, the convening moved through performance, presentation, workshop, and shared meals, shaped by four themes: food as medium, system, archive, and territory.

The first day included panel discussions, presentations, a workshop, and a breakout session. The second day featured an artist project by the transdisciplinary collective Cocina Colaboratorio.
