'FOOD dal cucchiaio al mondo': an exhibition that tells us about how food crosses, changes and influences the body, houses, streets, cities, the landscape of the entire world

Every year all round the world a third of the #food that is produced is wasted or lost (that’s 1.3 billion tons!); the losses and the waste are equal to 680 billion dollars in industrialized countries, and 310 billion in developing countries. Every single day in Mumbai (India) 4,000 people known as dabbawala deliver 160,000 meals cooked at home by mothers and wives for the city’s workers. There are architects who have designed beehives for the city, and artists who have turned #food sharing into an art form; masters of twentieth-century architecture who have planned ideal cities where the urban and the agricultural spaces are integrated, and contemporary studies that have designed fruit a
nd vegetable markets that are transformed into spaces for events.
Each day the issues linked to #food and nutrition have an impact on people’s “vital space,” starting from the domestic environment and ultimately influencing the planet’s equilibrium . These themes are dealt with in the exhibition #fooddalcucchiaioalmondo, curated by Pippo Ciorra along with the staff of #maxxi #architettura and #maxxi #arte (May 29 – November 8, 2015). A huge project involving about 2,500 square meters of exhibition space that #maxxi dedicates to the social dimension of #food in the year of EXPO Milano 2015, realized in collaboration with the #food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and with the United Nations World #food Programme (WFP) #fooddalcucchiaioalmondo tells of visions, traditions and different experiences, presenting architectural projects, stories and works of art.
