Safiyah, Sadie, and me at the farmer's market
I had the privilege of making an appearance in and serving as an adviser for Catherine Gund’s latest documentary film–What’s on Your Plate. The film follows two eleven-year-old multi-racial city kids (Sadie and Safiyah) as they explore their place in the food chain. I just screened the film for students and community members during my artist residency at the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana, and folks loved it. If you live in the Los Angeles area, come out to UCLA’s Hammer Museum on Thursday April 1st for a screening followed by a panel discussion with me, Catherine Gund, Sadie Hope-Gund, and actors/activists Esai Morales and Ed Begley, Jr.
