Grains of Change is a celebration of the cultures of East Asia—in China, Korea, Taiwan, Mongolia, and Japan—through one of the region’s most fundamental staples: rice. This evening program roots global traditions in local community, bringing New York–based artists, restaurants, cultural organizations, and vendors together through rice as both a cultural cornerstone and a symbol of sustainability.
Throughout the evening, we will explore how rising temperatures, shifting rainfall patterns, and biodiversity loss are transforming agriculture across East Asia and here at home. By pairing science with cultural expression and community voices, the event invites audiences to reflect on the connections between what we eat, how we grow, and how we sustain each other in a changing climate.
