Group show for the June Issue of Fraction.
The Unnatural Nature of Food.
Food in our society has an interesting journey from, as the expression goes, "farm to table." Unknown farmers and hard working, often migrant laborers pick the food, package it and load it into trucks, ships and trains. It arrives at the supermarket where the average consumer is disconnected with (and often indifferent to) how their food got to his or her table. This call for entry is for work documenting all aspects of food, from production to consumption — from studies of agrarian communities, practices and lifestyles to exploration of how fast food has affected our culture and everything in between.

Sorry I don't have any work in this area, but is there a little bit of irony here given that a good deal of the accountability for the current pandemic concern is due to the corporate raising of pigs for food?
Aw, just found this call for entries + the issue. I am heartbroken that I didn't know about it sooner, it would've been perfect for me! I hope there is another in the future.
