Event description:
A special display of drawings, prints, water colors, and rare books will be on view in the YCBA Study Room in celebration of Sustainability Week.
This focused selection considers the roots of global food production and consumption. Britain’s imperial history intertwines with the trade in foods that are now widely consumed all over the globe, such as sugar, rice, mangoes, and tea. Artistic representations of these foodstuffs depict the beauty that made them alluring, and suggest the sometimes devasting human and environmental impacts caused by their production.
