The Meal

Here’s an exciting event which is easy to get involved in, and free! On 24th February, the Art House Co-op are staging a simultaneous global meal, where thousands of people around the world take a photo of themselves having a meal at 12pm EST (that’s 5pm in the UK). You then send the photo to them in New York and they’ll make an exhibition from them all, and post them online.
As well as creating a sense of unity across geographical and cultural boundaries, the project also aims to highlight world hunger and promote ways to tackle it via the humanitarian organisation Action Against Hunger. To find out more and to sign up, go to the Art House co-op website. The deadline for joining is 22nd February.
Chloe and I will definitely be taking part so I’ll post the photo at the end of the month!
