Food has become a central cultural artifact in the 21st century global city. In the midst of increasingly vibrant urban food cultures, this panel addresses food as it embodies shared urban to rural experience and engages the wider public in critical issues of our time. In this panel we aim to investigate how food serves as an important mechanism for creating alternative nows and imagining new possibilities for a shared urban existence.

Please join Hub.UP for an afternoon of discussion between practitioners and researchers with guest speakers from Green Dragons, Drive Change, Milk Not Jails, The New School Food Studies Program, The New School for Public Engagement, and Parsons and moderated by Theories of Urban Practice alum, Matt DelSesto.
