Film by Vineet Diwadkar "Food dal Cucchiaio al Mondo" exhibition Museo Nazionale delle Arti del XXI Secolo Rome Italy, 2015. The dabbawalas famously collect homemade lunch from kitchens across Mumbai, and then sort, transport, sort, and deliver them to working men and women throughout the city. They do this without a site register, but with an innovative notation system which marks the source and delivery train stations and buildings. This film follows the dabbawalas through a single day in January 2015. The film by Vineet Diwadkar was exhibited as part of ‘Dabbawalas of Mumbai’ exhibit with RMA Research and Rajesh Vora at the MAXXI Foundation in Rome for the “Food dal cucchaio del mondo” exhibition on the architectural issues surrounding food, curated by Pippo Ciorra with Giulia Ferracci, Alessio Rosati and Alessandra Spagnoli. From the MAXXI Foundation: “Over 50 works by different artists and architects, in a presentation that ranges from the dimension of the human body to that of the planet, from the kitchen to the home, from the city to the region and the world, tackle the global political, social, urban and economic effects that the production, distribution, consumption and disposal of food have on communities and territories.” http://www.diwadkar.net/project/dabbawalas/
