Part of the upcoming multi-site exhibition Art’s Work in the Age of Biotechnology: Shaping Our Genetic Futures, the corn maze From Teosinte to Tomorrow at the NC Museum of Art park will be open through the end of October. Free and open to the public.
The presentation will highlight the issues arising from extreme vertical integration in the food production system, how extreme vertical integration is impacting our communities, and how we are redirecting our approaches in agriculture to protect the environment, as well as the farmers and the farm workers that are producing our food.
