Documenting The Food Change with Anne Hamersky
This week, CUESA unveils The Food Change, a bold new project championing farmers, advocates, and everyday people who are making positive change in our food system. Through a larger-than-life public art installation at San Francisco’s Ferry Building with beautiful portraits by photographer Anne Hamersky, The Food Change will engage thousands of visitors in creating a fair, regenerative, and delicious food future.

Tomorrow, please join CUESA in celebrating the change we’re making together at The Food Change Big Reveal at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. We spoke with photographer and collaborator Anne Hamersky about her inspiration and process, and the importance of public art in galvanizing The Food Change.
