Harvest In September

We’re saying goodbye to the lazy days of summer and welcoming the energy that fall has to offer with the editorial theme of HARVEST.

As the season changes, we’re reminded that fall is more than just a time to literally gather what we’ve grown, but also a time to conceptually reap what we sow — and that the values, the practices, and the conversations we’re planting today will shape the thoughts and views of tomorrow.

Over the past few months, HRN has doubled down on our mission to genuinely change the way you think about food — both the good and the bad, and yes, even the downright ugly. But these conversations are necessary. Even when they’re uncomfortable. Because we refuse to shy away from the truths that need to be told about our shared food system.

So as we head into September, we’re committing ourselves to reap even MORE. And we’re digging deep to unearth the roots of systemic injustice, exploitation, and exclusion in the food world. Because only by confronting these realities head-on can we hope to cultivate true change in our community (and sow the seeds that are long overdue).

We believe in the power of food to be a force for good, to be a catalyst for equity, inclusion, and sustainability. But that vision can only be realized if we’re willing to have the hard conversations. Harvesting isn’t just about celebration; it’s about reflection. It’s about recognizing the work that still needs to be done and committing to doing it — together.

As we enter this new season, we invite you to join us in cultivating a future where everyone gets a seat at the table, and the food on that table reflects all of us.

HRN Podcasts

“This art piece is about harvesting thoughts from someone’s mind. Learning and getting information from others and knowledge from different perspectives. It explores the idea of how our thoughts and ideas can be influenced and shaped by those around us, ultimately leading to personal growth and development. Learning and harvesting thoughts from others is a perfect way to receive new experiences from someone who may not have had access to that knowledge otherwise. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration and sharing ideas to expand one’s understanding of the world. We can broaden our own perspectives and gain a deeper understanding of the world around us. This art piece serves as a reminder of the power of collective knowledge and the benefits of learning from one another.”

– Salu Binahtabor, Artist

Background on this project:

As HRN deepens our commitment to food justice and expands our understanding of what that really means in practice, we are putting out the call for artists to adorn the HRN logo throughout 2024. Each month, we will feature the work of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ visual artists and graphic designers to explore and interpret our monthly editorial theme. Their work will be featured on HRN channels from our newsletter, website, social media, and beyond.

To apply, please send a brief, one-page cover letter and portfolio or work sample to info@heritageradionetwork.org with the subject line “Editorial Theme Graphic Design” + your name. If selected, you will receive $250 for each final illustration. HRN is accepting applications on a rolling basis.
