Through the photography exhibition “The Food That Unites Us,” the Center for Rural Studies and International Agriculture (CERAI) offers a visual journey through the countries of Senegal, Bolivia, and Cuba. These three countries are united by a common challenge: guaranteeing their communities’ right to sustainable and decent food.
The exhibition can be visited from October 4 to 13, from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., at the Student Recreation Centre of the Polytechnic University of Valencia.
Visitors will delve into the daily lives of farmers who work the land in very different contexts, but with a common commitment: to cultivate food that nourishes not only their bodies but also the culture and identity of their people.
The images show the hands that sow, the local markets where producers and consumers meet, and the landscapes that sustain an increasingly threatened agricultural diversity. The exhibition invites us to reflect on food sovereignty and the need to recognize and protect the work of those who make our daily food possible.
The images are by Bolivian photographer Sara Aliaga, Cuban photographer Claudio Peláez, and Spanish photographer Marta Moreiras.
