a banana is not an easy thing
This is a banana-skin art project by Shelley Sacks- a “social sculpture” that took banana grower numbers and traced some of the individual farmers in St. Lucia who grew them. The exhibition featured large sheets of cured, sewn banana skin, but the whole project took place in a much larger context, addressing consumer responsibility and the impact of multinational agribusiness, as well as some more immediate issues for the growers. This is fascinating stuff.
