I’ll be talking about the Cavendish banana – our supermarket breed – and why it is an economic, political, and culinary dead end – organic, fair trade, or conventional. I’ll be offering a picture of what a future banana – one that helps correct a century of social and environmental justice – might look like. The talk is part of Fallen Fruit’s “United Fruit” installation; the location is at Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE), at 6522 Hollywood Blvd. 8:00PM, Tuesday, September 15. Admission is free. Info here.
