Exploring intersections of art and activism, Against Monoculture offers a creative lens through which to examine the structural causes and consequences of food inequality. Bringing together artists whose practices foreground the role of food in community, struggle, and survival, the exhibition considers the ways food is a direct link to land, culture, and identity, and how cultivating, preparing, and sharing food are fundamental creative acts.
