This year ideas around “appetite,” as both a bodily state and an emotive force, will be explored. What do we hunger for in our personal and civic lives? How does longing shape the human psyche? How have artists and makers explored the role of appetite in creative production? These questions and more will be addressed by Cleveland area arts, cultural, and educational organizations through a series of public events.
