What does it mean to eat in a world of increasing environmental extremes? Explore this question at Emerge Festival 2022: Eating at the Edges. Bring your hands, noses and mouths — they are critical tools! This year’s festival explores our relationship with food and what that will look like in a future with severe environmental challenges. Together, we will think and taste our way through asking what alternative forms of food production, distribution and consumption we should consider to build a more inclusive, equitable and delicious culinary world.

The festival will be hosted at ASU’s Mix Center and Mesa Arts Center. Featured experiences include food art installations, food researchers, food trucks/vendors, live music and entertainment, Mesa Arts Center’s MABEL (Mobile Arts Based Engagement Lab), a Bountiful Future Food Feast art installation made from ceramics, interactive art activities and more.

Emerge is a FREE annual art, science and technology festival that explores our creative agency and scientific responsibility for our possible futures. The day-long festival will take place at the ASU MIX Center and Mesa Arts Center.  Learn more at emerge.asu.edu.
