Fooooood and What’s In Between
2022-2023 ANNUAL PROJECT
Food plays a vital role in the work of 422 Community Hub and its efforts to promote food justice in our neighbourhood and beyond. It is crucial for our existence, but food is also so much more than the physical fuel that keeps us going–it is a great part of our culture and our heritage which often operates as a bond that brings people together.
In September 2022, we published an open call for artists, researchers and creative practitioners inviting proposals for projects that deal with the social and environmental aspects of the food we consume. Our selected programme will be published in December 2022 with events taking place throughout 2023.
