The Raw Feed presents work from three artists who explore the issues of globalization and dislocation, focusing on the ways in which we are given sustenance. The project includes an interactive rice factory that examines the politics of grain production and world hunger; a multidisciplinary video installation that takes a critical look at the messages fed to us by the United Nations; and a pop-up café built on a bicycle chassis that connects food with personal narratives of dislocation through a collection of war-time recipes. The act of feeding ourselves has served as the basis of ritual, connection and artistry for as long as we've lived in societies, and The Raw Feed brings together these disparate strands of shared experience in an exploration of what sustenance means.
