Art as Method
Art as Method is a groundbreaking community research journey to bridge racial equity and institutional change related to food systems.
Art as Method is a model and study on how art can provide limitless possibilities for people to share their experiences within the food system, transcend language differences, bring communities together, and ultimately shift institutional culture to engage more equitable practices.
In collaboration with food systems practitioners within North Carolina, Art as Method reimagines how we interact with art and its capacity as a powerful modality in transforming community-based research. Intent on reforming and restoring our perceptions of how research can support effective solutions through community engagement, we foster methods that seek to restore balance, while critically acknowledging the privilege associated with artistry and research. We do all of this as a mechanism to celebrate BIPOC voices in the food system.
Pull up a chair and join us at the table that celebrates equity in our food system.
Join us, throughout the month of July and August as we debut Art as Method in the 2024 Summer Event Series, UPROOT: BIPOC Visions of Our Food System.
UPROOT is a series of curated experiences that will include food, art, music and entertainment. Through collective envisioning of an equitable and just food system, this healing and interactive event series shares the artwork and stories of local BIPOC food leaders and community members. We invite you to gather with us for the OPENING CEREMONY of UPROOT: BIPOC Visions of Our Food System, on July 13th in Durham, NC between 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM EST.
This event is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC BUT, REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. ONLY THOSE REGISTERED WILL RECEIVE THE EVENT ADDRESS.
Enjoy local food and music with us as we share the findings of this art-based research. Food will be locally sourced from BIPOC farmers and will be catered by The Palace International.
