Food For Thought
BH Art Exchange is privledged to introduce the Food For Thought Initiative
This Sydney based arts organisation's project is about Public Engagement with the residents of Broken Hill. Residents will be invited to comment on a question posed to them in return for a cup of soup. Hence Food For Thought.
The Art Exchange is searching for the "GOLDEN QUESTION"
So we decided to ask you...
"If you could ask the 19,000 residents of Broken Hill one question, what would it be?"
Both locals and our out of town readers are welcome to respond.
Please include your age and gender in your mail. All responses will be treated as anonymous. Your question may be chosen as the Golden Question. Look out for FOOD FOR THOUGHT in your neighbourhood early March.
