Exhibit: Just Food: The Right to Food from a Faith Perspective
Is food ever just food? Food is not only something to be routinely prepared and consumed. Food is essential for human life. Without food there is hunger, conflict and death. With food there is vitality, community, and celebration.
Is food always just food? Food is not always justly accessible. Access to food depends on fair and efficient systems for production and distribution. The food insecurity for many people around the world indicates that our food systems are unjust. Is the abundant food available to some of us just food, when it is not equally accessible to others?
The exhibit will consist of several complementary components:
1. Artworks by artists around the world responding to Biblical texts on food and to contemporary statements on the right to food;
2. Documents, photographs and artifacts depicting Mennonite efforts to alleviate hunger others and themselves in the past and present.
3. Historical and current statements articulating the human right to food.
