Join us for a thought-provoking conversation inspired by Farm to Table: Art, Food, and Identity in the Age of Impressionism. This exhibition showcases late 19th-century French Impressionist paintings that explore how local identity is tied to food, and how farms, markets, and meals were transformed in the wake of the Franco-Prussian War.
In this panel conversation, weâll connect these historic themes to the realities of todayâs food systems in Seattle. From strengthening local farmers markets to advancing farmworker rights, and from reducing food insecurity to building pathways to employment, our discussion will explore how these forces shape whatâs on our tables.
The conversation will feature speakers from local associations and food justice organizations moderated by Tan Vinh, food & drink writer for The Seattle Times and host of the NPR/KUOW podcast, Seattle Eats. Together, theyâll share stories, spark dialogue, and invite you to reimagine the future of our food.
