Cultural recommendation for the weekend
Photographic exhibition “Families of the world” by Peter Menzel
“Peter J. Menzel (born February 7, 1948) is an American freelance photojournalist best known for his coverage of scientific and technological subjects. (…)
Similar in style to Material World, Hungry Planet presents what thirty families eat in a week through a combination of photographs and essays. Each family's profile includes descriptions about their food purchases and a portrait of the family surrounded by a week's worth of groceries. The book shows families from 24 countries, offers essays from Michael Pollan, Charles C. Mann, and Marion Nestle, among others.”
