Food of the Past, Present & Future

Tag: San Francisco

Minilivestock at R/GA Today, May 13

In this R/GA Lecture event Monica and Rosanna will get together and present a brief trajectory of their artistic practice and the development of their interest in edible insects and street food culture.

Monica Martinez is an artist, educator and designer. Her complex sculptural constructions are concerned with urban architectural landscapes, industrial buildings, containers and other objects related to food surpluses.

Rosanna Yau is an interdisciplinary designer based in San Francisco. Rosanna explores ways to make entomophagy (the consumption of insects as food) accessible. She is an advocate of learning through making and sharing—as a result, she is not only interested in encouraging people to try eating insects, but to also be creative and try cooking insects themselves as well. Rosanna will discuss her experiences in raising, harvesting and cooking insects, and her thesis that explored utilizing the familiar as a method to reframe edible insects as food.

Join MiniLivestock at the CalAcademy tomorrow, Nov. 18!

Hello ML followers. Sorry for being M.I.A., but I’ve been really busy doing behind-the-scenes things like redesigning the ML website, prepping for my presentation with the entomophagy crew at the 2010 ESA Entomology Conference in San Diego, and prepping for the Cal Academy of Science and KQED’s “A Taste of NightLife” event that’s happening tomorrow…night!

MiniLivestock will be joining several others on this food-themed night with a variation of the Nutritional Insects exhibition. Make sure to come by for a sampling of salted, dried crickets and mealworms. If you need even more reasons to go, KQED will be screening the films The Botany of Desire and Black Gold. There will also be food demos from local SF organizations like 18 Reasons, TCHO and Madecasse.
