As part of the university’s Campus Global Theme, “Food for Thought: Feeding Ourselves, Feeding the Planet,” we are hosting an integrative event that will center people of color who disrupt and innovate within the food system. We invite you to the virtual table.
Produced by artist Charlyn Griffith-Oro, the Free Brunch Program in its latest iteration, draws inspiration from the Black Panthers’ Free Breakfast program and radical homesteading practices held in MOVE philosophies. Participants are invited to reimagine mutual aid and solidarity in the globalized world of the 21st century. Special guests will share musings, the study and practice of food liberation, the growth of a system seeded from mutuality and care. The FBP brings together folx working through strategies for transformation.
You can register here. Participants who register at least 2 weeks in advance will be provided with a FREE.S.A. (Free & Sovereign Agriculture) box of food products to use prior to and enjoy during the event. And don't worry! If you register later, you can still become a SUBSCRIBER and receive a box!
This event draws on ancestral, artistic, experiential and academic knowledge about food supply chains, taking the Campus Global Theme seriously in its goal of engaging a massive community of eaters! Graduate student Charlotte Glennie and Professor Catherine Brinkley have supported this Wholistic.art event. Because food insecurity is a problem that affects so many students, there will be outreach and special invitations extended.
