Food supplies are sourced from all food production sectors to meet the growing demands of the exploding population in India and one such promising area is fisheries. Every year, 16th October is celebrated as the World Food Day and it reminds us of our obligations to provide food for the billions that inhabit the earth. The aim of the Day is to heighten public awareness of the world food problem and strengthen solidarity in the struggle against hunger, malnutrition and poverty.
With this aim, Bay of Bengal Programme Inter-Governmental Organisation (BOBP-IGO), Chennai has organized an Art Exhibition where Eminent artists of Chennai have exhibited their works inspired by the sea and the people associated with it.
Artists Alphonso Arul Doss, Asma Menon, S Jayaraj, N Manohar, V Ravindran and BO Shailesh have exhibited their paintings and sculptures on the theme. Using different media, these artists have painted the lives and livelihoods of fisherfolk and their environment.
This exhibition is a tribute to the brave fishers who toil against all odds to harvest nutritious fish food from the oceans.
The exhibition will continue till 23 October 2011.
