In 2021, PARM and its partners launched the PARM Art Challenge to celebrate the faces of rural women and men who, every day, face many risks to produce the food we have. The Challenge called on more than one hundred artists from Africa and the diaspora to transform portraits of rural women and men in Africa into works of art by highlighting these actors in the shadows of our food security.
From 1 to 21 June 2022, PARM organized the exhibition “FOOD HEROES: The heroes of food security and sustainable agriculture” in the Botanical Garden of Cheick Anta Diop University (UCAD) of Senegal, as part of the Dakar Biennale DAK’ARTOFF 2022, one of the major contemporary African art exhibitions, since 1996.
The exhibition was organised in collaboration with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Equipment (MAER) of Senegal. Here is the after-movie to re-live the full PARM Art experience.
