The Beauty of Food Redistribution – A Roaming Exhibition
Curated by Fiona Hollis, Head of Communications, City Harvest
“This roaming exhibition shows the beauty of what we do, using AI, AR, photography & City Harvest impact data. Collaborating with artists allows the data to speak not only to the head, but to the heart.
Our reports research the Value of Food Redistribution to Food, People & Planet showing our social return on investment – essentially helping the world thrive not simply survive.”

July 2023: The People Report collection.
Photography by Oscar J Ryan, captures the beautiful connection between City Harvest and the school communities we feed.
A series of confronting life-size prints shot in a school playground, these prints convey the size of the issue and the scale of City Harvest’s solution. 1 in 4 children doesn’t eat because the cost of living and food has risen so much that people cannot afford to feed their families and pay bills, with malnutrition and rickets becoming an increasing problem in children.
From October 2024, this stunning image will be roaming the UK on the side of our 26t truck rescuing food from farms and distributors to feed people in need.
