Vers un Québec sans faim!
An Exhibition of Posters on Food Rights and Nutrition, Hosted by the Écomusée du Fier Monde
Montréal, Monday June 23rd, 2026 – On display July 8th to October 4th, 2026 at the Écomusée du Fier Monde, “Vers un Québec Sans Faim!” presents food rights and nutrition as fundamental human rights and a concern to society at large. The exhibition offers an outline of this complex issue via a selection of posters made by several citizens’ collectives.
Food Rights are Human Rights
Using the urgent problem of global (as well as local to Québec and Canada) food insecurity as a starting point, the exhibition questions the capacity of both conventional and alternative agriculture and food systems to adequately and sustainably meet the needs and desires of various populations. The pieces on display are expressions of several community food and agriculture campaigns that highlight critical food education and the struggle for empowerment.
Misant sur les acquis et les promesses d’initiatives et d’expériences innovatrices, l’exposition s’intéresse à leur potentiel émancipatoire dans la perspective d’un système agroalimentaire privilégiant la créativité humaine, l’égalité d’accès, la justice sociale et la soutenabilité écologique. Abordant les enjeux et les défis de la sécurité et de la souveraineté alimentaires pour l’avenir de la planète et de l’humanité, elle plaide ainsi résolument pour la reconnaissance concrète et la mise en œuvre démocratique du droit de tous et toutes à l’alimentation.
Building on the achievements and promises of these initiatives, the exhibition explores their emancipatory potential and offers a vision of food systems that prioritize human creativity, equal access, social justice, and ecological sustainability. As it addresses the issues and challenges of food security and sovereignty for the future of humanity and the planet, “Vers un Québec sans faim!” believes firmly in the recognition and implementation of the right to food, for all.
Join us at the vernissage on Wednesday July 8th, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Écomusée du Fier Monde.
A Collaborative Project Designed to Travel
“Vers un Québec sans faim!” was created by UQAM’s Centre de recherche en imagerie populaire (CRIP) in collaboration with the Regroupement des cuisines collectives du Québec (RCCQ). It was originally co-produced with l’Écomusée du fier monde with the intent to travel to different regions of Québec and Canada in 2026-27, and worldwide in 2028.
