On February 16th we create a platform of inclusion, celebration, discussion and action. Join us for a multidiscplinary approach to discuss food and it’s affect on the South Bronx (and abroad). The South Bronx is a community through which millions of pounds of food arrive everyday but curiously enough we have little access to. On that day we will come together in the spirit of progress, action and resiliency. We will explore the themes that create our current reality and then celebrate those who engage, dream big and move forward!It is a day of talks, visioning, art, music and of course great food and drink.Don’t worry if you can’t make it, we will be livestreaming the event.
