We think about food every day; it is necessary for life and central to our daily routines, commerce, and culture. Throughout history, communities have worked together to forage, hunt, and grow food. In good times and bad, feast or famine, food connects people. It is no wonder that food is a prominent subject in art. "In Feast or Famine" explores food as a story\, symbol, and sustenance. Works in the exhibition consider our relationship with food within the contexts of identity and community; history and memory; food equity, agriculture and our environment to present unique interpretations of meaning and connection.
The exhibition is guest curated by Marianne K. McGrath.
