About
We invite Sourced founders Dr Anna Sulan Masing and Chloe-Rose Crabtree to respond to our latest exhibition 'José María Velasco: A View of Mexico'.
Sourced examines Velasco’s depiction of Mexico’s 19th-century landscape and explores how his relationship with the land as an artist and scientist influenced his paintings. Velasco shares a nostalgic vision of Mexico’s natural beauty existing in harmony with the early days of industrialisation.
Through the context of food history, Sourced will discuss Velasco’s landscapes as part of the larger Romantic movement, colonial interpretations of ‘nature’ and Mexico’s nascent national identity in the 19th century.
Your hosts
Sourced is a public research project aimed at exploring our relationships with food and drink. Founded and produced by Dr Anna Sulan Masing and Chloe-Rose Crabtree, it operates under the guiding principles that food and drink are biological and cultural rights.
Sourced's desire is for global food and drink systems to reflect those rights through empathetic, transparent and inclusive practices, seeking to decolonise culinary experiences.
