In conjunction with the exhibition Hammer Projects: Andrea Bowers (2017).

From the outset of the Trump administration, a coalition of activist groups and artists mobilized in response to proposed policies designed to undermine religious freedom, civil rights, and environmental sustainability. Andrea Bowers is a prominent advocate for the merging of political activism with artistic practice, and the environment has been a key concern for her and the network of activists with which she is closely aligned. The invitation to produce a work for the lobby of the Hammer Museum afforded Bowers the opportunity to engage Food & Water Watch and the South Central Farm two organizations that embody global and local concerns for affordable access to healthy food and clean water.
