A conversation about food justice for explorASIAN Festival 2022, featuring poet, organizer, and educator Mercedes Eng; researcher and organizer Yi Chien Jade Ho; scholar, activist, educator, and citizen eater Tammara Soma; and organizers with Yarrow Intergenerational Society for Justice and DTES SRO Collaborative.

Food is crucial to how we care for each other, come together in community, and express ourselves culturally. At the same time, the systems that condition how food is produced, made, and distributed proliferate injustice at every scale, from environmental degradation to labour exploitation. On May 14th, please join us for a conversation with local activists, artists, and academics who are taking up rich legacies of struggle to imagine more nourishing futures for all. What’s possible, and what will be required to get there?
