A Feast In The Desert: Exhibition Artist Talk

“A Feast In The Desert, ” curated by Alexis Tyson, shares the artists’ voices in appreciating the role food plays in strengthening our bonds and educating our community on food disparity in Baltimore. An intimate exhibition that showcases four artists across Baltimore – each offering a story of how food affects them and their lifestyles. Along with educating our community on the food deserts that exist around Baltimore, the exhibition also accepts canned goods donations that will, in turn, be shared with our three partners: The Baltimore Hunger Project, The Dia Network, and Outcast Food Network,  to help disrupt the effects of food insecurity in Baltimore.

The exhibition is also a chance for viewers to examine their own relationships with food and how it fits in their lives. We encourage our audience to look outside of the lens of food insecurity and consider the conditions and circumstances that led our city here. To fix the problem, we must address both the cause of the insecurity and the direct consequence.

Featured artists include:

• Schroeder Cherry
• Chloe Griffin
• Ramon Knight
• Maurice Scarlett III
