Avenue 50 Studio is proud to present:

POLITICS OF THE PLATE

Politics of the Plate explores food through identity, social significance and the ever-continuing class struggle. We are challenging artists to produce work in any medium regarding how food can heal and be part of health, family remembrances of your mom’s cooking, or to speak more politically regarding the politics of food. Food is power. From GMO produced food to Coca-Cola’s troubles regarding the safety of bisphenolA (the plastic coating lining the inside of Coke cans), corporations world-wide are making dangerous decisions regarding our food production. Yet, we know that food can heal and be part of our health system. As a society, we need to think twice about what’s on our dinner plate.
