Food Bigger: Than The Plate
Flood: Bigger than the Plate
V&A, 2019
An exhibition about the politics, pleasures, and future of food.
Could we collectively build a food future that is more sustainable, fair and delicious than the one currently on offer? This exhibition brought together projects by over seventy artists and designers who are creatively addressing this question in collaboration with scientists, chefs and local communities.
Organised in four sections – Composting, Farming, Trading and Eating – it took visitors on a journey through the food cycle, beginning with waste. The show culminated with an eating experience in which visitors could design and taste their own food future.
