'Because We Eat' Opening Reception

"Because We Eat." With this simple truth, artist Antonia Davis challenges us to confront the human cost of the food we consume in a new mixed-media installation. Join us for the opening night and a special program designed to explore our connection to the harvest and the farmworkers who sustain it.

5:30 p.m. | Special Pre-Opening Film 

View the moving documentary, "The Harvest/La Cosecha" (75 minutes), that follows the arduous journey of three children from the scorching heat of Texas' onion fields to the winter snows of the Michigan apple orchards and back south to the humidity of Florida's tomato fields to follow the harvest.

6:45 p.m. | Installation Premiere & Artist Reception

After the documentary, join us in viewing Davis's art installation, "Because We Eat." This event will feature the installation, an opportunity to meet the artist, and a welcoming atmosphere with light refreshments and music in the rotunda.
