We Feed You: Works by Victor Cartagena

From almonds and brussel sprouts to grapes and sugar beets, California produces and distributes nearly half of the fruits, nuts, and vegetables in the country. But who is responsible for all the work that goes into putting food on our tables?

This exhibition explores the systemic injustice of food production through the stories of migrant farm workers in California. Victor Cartagenaworked with individuals from the United Farm Workers Foundation (UFWF) in San Jose to uncover some of the stories of labor and bureaucracy behind the food we consume each day.
