'It feels like culturally we’ve separated from our food sources over the last few generations: eating more and more processed, delivered or ready made food, and spending less time growing and preparing our food ourselves,' says photographer Sai Mokhtari.
An upcoming show at the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx next month focuses on how traditions of growing, cultivating and preparing natural foods both reflect and shape culture and cuisine worldwide.
Chosen by the garden to set the tables for their new garden-wide cornucopia, which opens on June 4th, are Priscilla Aleman, Noble Dre Ali, Ariel Alvarez, Santina Amato, Blanka Amezkua, Gayle Asch, William Bentley, Leenda Bonilla, Reina Mia Brill, Michele Brody, Odalys Burgoa, Francesca Capone, Jill Cohen-Nuñez, Carlos Wilfredo Encarnación, Nicky Enright, Eric Escalante, Laura Álvarez Fernández, Elizabeth Hamby, Emily Henretta, Shawn Hill, Anthony Joseph, Catherine Herrick...
"It was cool to see these various artists’ takes on the theme of food in their lives and culture," Mokhtari reported from the scene. "The artists also seemed excited to be able to work at the gardens and share the space together, working side by side and watching each other’s designs take shape. Lots of excitement in the air."
