Carrot City: Designing for Urban Agriculture – goes on the road

Carrot City: Designing for Urban Agriculture

Curators: June Komisar, Mark Gorgolewski and Joe Nasr

The exhibition Carrot City: Designing for Urban Agriculture, was shown at the Design Exchange (DX) in Toronto earlier this year. The exhibition explores the relationship of design and urban food systems as well as the impact that agricultural issues have on the design of urban spaces and buildings as society addresses the issues of a more sustainable pattern of living.

The exhibit generated a huge amount of interest, including press articles, blog entries, YouTube submissions, and thousands of visitors.

The urban agriculture exhibit will be going on the road due to popular demand. Locations for showings include Royal Agricultural Winter Fair (Toronto) November 6, 2009, The New School (New York City) Fall 2010, and possible venues in Montreal, Washington, London, the Hague and Doha (Qatar).
