ABOUT THE SHOW
The Manitoba Craft Council is accepting submissions to Feast, Famine, a juried show exploring food, eating and food production as it relates to climate change.
Feast, Famine will investigate how climate change relates to and affects food: how it’s served, prepared, grown, and distributed. Accepted works will be presented on a large table in the gallery – an intimate setting for an intimate topic. Works can be placed on the table or surrounding gallery wall space, but we encourage submissions that integrate with the unique table display format. Functional and conceptual makers are welcome to apply for this opportunity. Please ensure submissions have a strong connection to both climate change/sustainability and food/dining/food production.
Some areas of exploration artists may wish to consider:
- How food is served: locally/land-sourced functional objects (dishes, place settings, table linens), works relating to take out and packaging materials, single use items, how we serve and eat food
- How food is prepared: processed food, how we cook and store food, food waste, water waste, commercial food prep practices
- How food is grown: farming practices, soil quality, factory farming, pesticide use, bees, fishing practices, land maintenance, irrigation
- How food is distributed: food packaging, supply chains, food waste, seasonal/out of season access, food box deliveries, “ugly” produce, additives, shipping
- How food affects our bodies: microplastics, nutritional quality, chemical footprint, water contamination
