Food Lives in Tower Hamlets

WHAT IS FOOD LIVES Mindful Photo Lab collaborated on a research film for Food Lives and conducted a photo workshop used as a method of research. This work supports the larger initiative led by Wen and the University of Sussex on the St George’s Estate, Shadwell called Food Lives Tower Hamlets. It’s all about the role food plays in our lives and the importance of history, culture, and heritage to our food habits. Food Lives Tower Hamlets is part of a 5-year research programme (which started in 2021) and is funded by UKRI and led by the University of Reading, FoodSEqual. It involves many universities, communities, and food companies working alongside communities to create a better food environment.
