About Manna
Manna is an unusual exhibition about food, the environment and our hidden dependence on nature. It was first exhibited in Stockholm autumn 2004 and has since then continued its successful tour around Sweden. The Washington visit is the starting point of an ambition to bring the exhibition to an international audience.
The goal is to show how the foods we eat originate from nature by using a visual, pedagogic approach to describe the food production system and the global trade system that we are all a part of. Manna is constructed like a theatre set, so parts of the exhibition are customised for each new location to maintain its artistic quality.
The exhibition is organised by centre partner Albaeco in collaboration with Stockholm Resilience Centre.
