Event: Creative Seeds-An Exploration of Hunger

Starting Monday, Downtown LA’s Cornerstone Theater will host Creative Seeds, a two-week event all around LA that brings together artists, food activists, farmers, chefs, food critics and thought leaders to explore a wide array of hunger issues.

I’m especially honored (and totally humbled) to be included in the November 15th panel, which includes Jonathan Gold, Good Food’s Evan Kleiman and Elina Shatkin of LA Weekly. Our panel will be held at the Bootleg Theater in Historic Filipino Town from 12-2 and will be hosted by performance artist and writer Luis Alfaro-the topic is “What do different generations of food critics hunger for?“

Other panel topics include:

How do we get food to people that are hungry?

How does our relationship with farmers shape our relationships with hunger and with food?

How are culture, ethnicity and class linked to experiences of hunger and fulfilment?

From multinational corporations to the corner store, what are the links between access, food choices, and money?

There’s a lot more too. Check out the program schedule and book tickets (it’s FREE!) to the stuff that interests you because seats are limited.

See you there!
