CONSUME LOVE is a project of PEACE and ANTI-CONSUMERISM.
Artist and leading sustainable designer Atom Cianfarani is creating a food cart reminiscent of her Italian ancestors. This cart however is a little different.

Guests will enjoy homemade food re-directed from the waste-stream by way of freeganism, and join Cianfarani is discussing some of the most pressing issues of our contemporary moment.
While America is the largest consumer market on the planet, anti-consumption has been omitted from the contemporary green movement and replaced with the promotion of “green” consumer items. The environmental effects of war have also been largely excluded from the “eco” discussion. Cianfarani believes that to disregard the negative environmental effects of war make it impossible to advance, with legitimacy, a real solution.
