This exhibition shares examples of art and artefacts from Dig for Your Rights!, a rights-based literary program that engages children and youth in inquiry-based explorations of food security. The Dig program—along with the Dress for Your Rights! program and A Flood of Stories (formerly the Flood Stories project)—is part of Dr. Michelle Superle’s 20 Harvest Challenge. All three programs combine children’s books, human rights, and artistic projects for climate hope as a way to empower children’s participation in their community’s sustainability endeavors.
This exhibit honours children, youth, and local artists who dream of a healthier, happier world achieved through a form of sustainable local food security in which there’s a place for everyone to participate, contribute, and thrive.
