As someone with a very globally oriented outlook and perspective, I have always had a heart for the struggles and hardships of people around in our dysfunctional world, whether it be related to social justice or poverty or homelessness. This has motivated me to pursue a career in visual and mixed media arts, using my design voice as a vehicle to convey my commentary and to fight for change. At core I aspire to be a storyteller, and use art to tell the impact of the human experience. So for my webcase, I selected a topic that has far reaching impacts across the globe: food insecurity. As a member of the UMass Dartmouth chapter of MASSPIRG, I was an intern for the Hunger and Homelessness campaign. Getting more hands-on involved in campus activism, I became more informed about the acute food security crisis that is plaguing communities. Discovering that 1 in 3 college students in Massachusetts suffers from food insecurity astonished me, and prompted me to take action and organize. Hunger is a systemic failing, and is a byproduct of our culture’s individualism and lack of communal networking. Doing my research, I wanted to concentrate on a multiethnic city in the Global South. I sought for a city that used collective action to address unjust systems and reform the way that communities network with one another. Belo Horizonte felt like the perfect illustration of what this in practice is.
