Our upcoming Poetic Tortillas Narrative Provisions boxes and Supper Kits originally were created in collaboration with UCLA’s Fowler Museum exhibition (Feb 2016-July 2016) which featured artist, poet, and activist José Montoya (1932-2013).
A Chicano activist, poet, artist, intellectual, professor, and musician, he often found inspiration in the verdant fields of the San Joaquin Valley where his family arrived from New Mexico in the 1940s looking for work. José Montoya’s Abundant Harvest retrospective at the Fowler museum included works on paper that were displayed in nearly 100 boxes placed in rows reminiscent of grapevines and trays that used to hold grapes – the fruit that would become the symbol of the farmworkers’ struggle in the 1960s.
In honor of Montoya, his tireless support of Cesar Chavez’s United Farm Workers movement (and in time for Dia de Los Muertos), we are happy to continue sharing this box of locally and sustainably grown food celebrating Chicano culture here in Southern California.
