Can the daily contents of a dinner plate reveal the true scale of global poverty?
In short: Economic policy researcher Huiyi Lin uses photography to document the food choices of those living at the poverty line across 38 countries, offering a visual perspective that transcends traditional policy reports.
In this presentation, Lin introduces 'The Poverty Line,' an art project designed to examine poverty through the lens of food. By capturing the daily meals of individuals living at the poverty line in 38 different countries and territories, the project aims to illuminate the reality of economic hardship in a way that data-heavy reports often fail to do.
