Preservation Dinner — Allie E.S. Wist

Artist dinner produced as programming for CRUSH Curatorial's Eat/ing Your Heart Out exhibition with Chef Jason Weiner of Almond Restaurant, addressing the question of food futures in the context of New York's Long Island. Our focal point was preservation—how both the literal act of preserving food and the audience's orientation towards preservation as a relationship with scarcity are critical to future food systems.
