# Delicious Activist Art The Fallen Fruit EATLACMA Project 2010 Has Launched By Katie Cordrey | Published 2010-02-07 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fallen-fruit-eatlacma-project References: [blogs.laweekly](http://blogs.laweekly.com/squidink/food-art/eatlacma-fallen-fruit-lacma/) & [fallenfruit.org](http://www.fallenfruit.org/) A new year-long project, EATLACMA, is a collaboration between the LA County Museum of Art and Fallen Fruit to explore the social role of [food and art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/7-paintings-the-art-of-dining) and the rituals of eating. Fallen Fruit is an [activist art project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-protests) that started out by creating maps of [fruit trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-grounds) growing on or over Los Angeles’ public property. The maps served to springboard discussion about neighborhood, public/private property, and ideas about community. As a metaphor, fallen fruit symbolizes the ways that we’ve become disconnected from the things that both literally and figuratively nourish us as human beings. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Activist Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create art projects that raise awareness and activism around important social issues. - **Food and Art Collaboration:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the intersection of food and art to create unique experiences and engage audiences. - **Community Engagement:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop initiatives that foster community involvement and encourage discussions about important topics. ### Where This Applies - **Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine traditional art forms with activism to create thought-provoking and impactful works. - **Museum:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Curate exhibitions and projects that challenge traditional museum concepts and engage visitors on a deeper level. - **Food and Beverage:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experiment with food as a medium for artistic expression and storytelling, creating immersive dining experiences that blur the line between food and art. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fruit Tree Edible Neighbourhoods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rijnvliet.md) - [Accessibility Awareness Juice Labels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juice-labels.md) - [Artful Activism Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snowflake-exhibition.md) - [Fruit Waste Ink Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-waste-ink.md) - [Confectionary Graffiti Murals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jolly-rancher-gummie.md) - [Agriculturally Inspired Art Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farming-photographs.md) - [Home-Defining Artistic Flags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everything-is-temporary.md) - [Food-Inspired Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics.md) - [Perception-Challenging Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/becoming-familiar.md)
