Picturing Food Justice is a participatory photography project that addresses issues around food justice, particularly in Nottingham’s NG7 postcode area. The project is supported through a collaboration between Off Centre Photography Festival, Himmah food bank and Primary.

Food justice is a holistic way to view the broader structures which affect people’s access to the food system. It begins on the basis that healthy food as a human right and the need to address the structural barriers to that right. By thinking about food justice, we not only aim to improve access to healthy food for all, but we also examine the structural roots of these disparities; racial and economic justice are therefore important interconnected issues to address. 

Despite the growing presence of food injustice across the country, the visual representation of these issues has been slow. This project will worked with local people who may have experienced food injustice to express their voices, experiences, and ideas visually.
