Food Matters recognizes the importance of art in addressing socially and culturally produced power dynamics and in moving towards cultural change. We, the organization committee, also observed the increase of interest in experiential and sensorial modes of knowledge production and transmission in the exploration of food-related matters. The Virtual Art Gallery thus featured creative and alternative forms of knowledge creation about matter and materialities as they link in one way or another to contemporary food cultures.
