Science Gallery Bengaluru Explores Food, Culture, and Calories
Science Gallery Bengaluru has opened a new exhibition called Calorie.
It's not about science experiments, but rather exploring our relationship with food.
The exhibition looks at where food comes from, how it's made, and how it affects us.
It includes art installations and performances that delve into topics like food markets, the gig economy, and the connection between food and social issues like caste.
The goal is to make us think more deeply about the food we eat and the systems behind it, especially in a world facing food and climate challenges.

The exhibition explores food, nutrition, and their connection to culture and society.
Exhibits include art installations and interactive elements.

Quotes
Jahnavi Phalkey
Science Gallery Bengaluru's director
“But we also want to pick ideas that are already out there—so instead of talking about, say, quarks or mesons, which are not really doing the popularity rounds, we pick ideas that are already in the public consciousness, in people’s lives, on their social media, and then try to create different kinds of entry points that will allow them to understand things that they think they know in a much more rigorous manner”

“It’s an invitation to look beyond what’s on our plate and to interrogate the systems, values, and choices that feed us… to foster a deeper understanding of how food connects us biologically, socially, and politically.”
