Esta semana, seguimos el viaje largo de una fruta cotidiana: la banana. La estudiante de diseño Bhavya Gupta recrea la historia de la banana, desde las plantaciones centroamericanos hasta los supermercados en los Estados Unidos. En su proyecto, vemos que esta fruta humilde se encuentra en la intersección de varias historias y fuerzas, desde el colonialismo hasta la monocultura, la cadena de suministro global y el consumo. Parte de nuestra colaboración con Parsons School of Design y Alonso Castro.

This week, we’re following the long journey of a ubiquitous fruit: the banana. Design student Bhavya Gupta traces the banana along the global supply chain, from plantations in Central America to the supermarkets of the United States. Her project revisits this fruit at the intersection of different histories and forces, from colonialism to monoculture, the global supply chain, and consumption. Produced as part of our collaboration with Parsons School of Design and Alonso Castro.
