{"uid":"LrfwQFlVSfaAfTlX","type":"curator","tags":[],"group":"yes","group_name":"Food of War","project_title":"Peace at the tables?","summary":"Food has been a key issue at the Colombian ongoing conflict because of many factors, including the lack of support for local farmers, the presence of paramilitary and guerrilla factions controlling large areas of land and furthermore, the eradication programs using biological warfare to get rid of illicit crops but with adverse long-term effects on the soil and food crops. Following the signing of a Peace Treaty in 2016, food has become the path to leave behind the war and embrace a new era in harmony not only with the environment but with each other. Initiatives to grow new crops, innovative ways of trading and engaging with a global economy are a few of the strategies related to food as the route to leave behind the illegality and build a new Colombia. What once was the root of conflict, is now a reason to embrace peace; a peace that we all want to start from our own tables. The relationship between food and conflict is the cornerstone of the Food of War Collective and has a wide array of variables that are more likely to be found by a heterogeneous mix of subjectivities. The force ticking behind each artist reflects not only their inner struggles but also their own political anxieties and personal obsessions into what Food of War is and could be made into. This project is about the relationship between Food and Conflict in the complex sociopolitical landscape that Colombia is facing after a 53 year inner conflict and how the society is dealing with those challenges.","space":"We look for a venue across London. A gallery, museum or warehouse big enough to host the artists mentioned above and the interactions with the audience. The approximate surface would be 125 square meters (400 square feet). As per technical requirements, some of the pieces need video projections or tv monitors, so access to electricity is fundamental as well as the capacity to darken some areas in order to improve the lighting conditions to project.","artists_proposal":"Marina Abramovic -Serbia-www.mai.art, Raul Marroqu\u00edn -Holland -www.raulmarroquin.com\nRafael Barros -Colombian -www.gomezbarros.com, Maquiamelo -Colombian - www.maquiamelo.com\nHernan Barros- British\/Colombian  www.foodofwar.org, Omar Castaneda -British\/Colombian www.omarcastaneda.website\nSol Bailey-Barker -  British  -  www.solbaileybarker.com, Zinaida Kubar - Ukrainian -  www.zinaidakubar.com\nLiliana Correa  - Colombian - www.barrocotropical.com, Esteban Pe\u00f1a - Colombian - www.esteban-pena.com\nAdriana Ramirez - Colombian - www.adrianaramirezm.wixsite.com, Nina Dotti - Venezuelan- www.ninadotti.com\nNick Drake - British - www.nickfdrake.com, Juan Cabello - Spain - www.fazemosarquitetura.com.br\nIngrid Cuestas -Jose Ismael Manco - Colombian","members":[],"lang":"es","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":4,"names":"Food of War & Gabriella","surname":"Sonabend","email":"info@foodofwar.org","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"528429014","address":"Apartment 7, The Otto Building, Downs Road, London, E5 8DE","city":"London","nacionality":"British","country_id":"81","birthdate":"1977-04-24T05:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1977-04-24T05:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+447776303071","web":"www.foodofwar.org"}
