Study Room Open House: Roots of Global Food Production
A display of drawings, prints, watercolors, and rare books will be on view in celebration of Yale’s Sustainability Week (October 3–7).
This focused display considers the roots of global food production and consumption. Britain’s imperial history intertwines with the trade in foods that are now widely consumed all over the globe, such as sugar, rice, mangoes, and tea. Artistic representations of these foodstuffs depict the beauty that made them alluring, and suggest the sometimes devasting human and environmental impacts caused by their production.
Join us in the Study Room for this special display! Appointments are not needed.
