ALESSIO MAMO
Alessio Mamo [b. 1976, Sicily, Italy] is currently based in Catania, and focuses on todays social, political and economic issues. Dreaming Food was a conceptual project about hunger issues in India. Despite economic growth, a majority of the Indian population still lives in extreme poverty, with close to 70% of its citizens residing in rural areas where conditions are extreme. Dreaming Food was inspired by the amount of food waste reported in the West. By going to a place where hunger is a reality and asking people to imagine what their dinner table might look like, Mamo reminds us that food should not be taken for granted.
Proceeds donated to People's Vigilance Committee on Human Rights seeks to provide basic rights to all, to eliminate situations which give rise to exploitation of vulnerable and marginalized groups, and to start a movement for a people friendly society.
