CALORIE Student Walkthroughs

CALORIE is our latest exhibition-season that explores humanity’s intimate yet fraught relationship with food. It looks at how the way we grow, buy, cook, eat, and waste food has been shaped by history, society, government policies, and science

Think ragi keyboards, sugar-blown sculptures, edible insects, climate games, and so much more!

Through playful and thought-provoking exhibits, a learning journey through CALORIE encourages students to ask big questions: How did food become data? How did nutrition become a tool of control? How do these histories shape debates on health, access, and sustainability today?

Our Experimentors (exhibit experts) lead walkthroughs for students aged 15 to 30 years, with critical discussions and hands-on activities.
