Active Cultures is a Los Angeles–based nonprofit dedicated to the artistic exploration of our global foodways—the attitudes, practices, and rituals around what we consume. Foodways provide a window onto our most fundamental beliefs about cultural expression, equity and social justice, environmental sustainability, and ourselves. We believe that by nurturing vital collaborations between artists, food practitioners, and their communities, we can illuminate culture and feed experimental artistic practice simultaneously, to build stronger connections of empathy, curiosity, and care among us all.
