New Art Exhibition

The unseen stories behind our food

Explore the relationship between people and the landscape through the eyes of artist Miguel Almeida. Opening Saturday, April 11, the new art exhibition Miguel Almeida: Las Manos que dan de Comer (The Hands That Feed) offers a window into the daily lives of the farm workers who sustain us.

From hand-drawn animations and wall murals to the sounds of the field and a closer look at the food system itself, this immersive exhibition centers the farm workers and community figures whose vital labor often goes unseen.
