PCC is partnering with the Burke Museum of Nautral History and Culture to present "Hungry Planet: What the World Eats". Hungry Planet examines how people from different countries and cultures fee their families, through photographs of 10 families from around the world at home, at the market, and surrounded by a week's worth of groceries. The exhibit also features "Salish Bounty: Traditional Native American Foods of Puget Sound," which explores 5,000 years of traditional tribal diets, as well as the revitalization of native food traditions. Bring your PCC membership card and join the Burke Museum on Friday 1/27 for the Hungry Planet opening preview, with live music and refreshments from PCC. PCC members will receive 50% off the regular $10 entrance to this event, it's free for kids 5 and under. |
