ABOUT
The Act of Hospitality playfully illustrates the age-old practice of welcoming the stranger and offering them food, shelter, and safety.
Inspired by Marcel Mauss' famous ‘Essay on the Gift’ which argued (among other things) that the origin of all exchange lies in an unconditional commitment to another’s needs, the drawing hopes to demonstrate and support the values of self-organization and mutual aid within West End Food & Solidarity, and anywhere else we happen to find it.
