What is a Hunger Banquet?
All event attendees are randomly seated and served a meal representative of high-, middle-, or low-income areas of the world. Because we want to create a visual representation of the world distribution of resources, most attendees (about 70%) will sit on the floor and eat a meager meal of rice and beans. Some (about 20%) will be seated in chairs and eat a modest, one-plate meal. A few attendees (about 10%) will be seated at fancy tables and receive a lavish meal.
The Hunger Banquet is designed to serve as both a fund-raising event and an opportunity for members of the Flagstaff community to think critically about the systems of inequity that permeate our world. Come prepared for an enjoyable as well as a thought-provoking evening.
