san·gam - a word of Sanskrit origin that denotes a place of confluence, where rivers flow together and become one.

de·sert - a dry, barren area of land, that is characteristically desolate, waterless, and without vegetation.

Commissioner presents Sangam / Desert, in collaboration with Annam Miami and inspired by artist Stuart Sheldon’s For Freedoms Billboard project. Join us for an experiential five course plant-based meal that explores the issues of abundance and scarcity and the journey our food takes to reach our plates.

During this eclectic evening, where ideas converge at the intersection of food, art and activism, Commissioner members are invited to volunteer to help serve and work in the kitchen. Special guest artist Cara Despain joins Annam Miami to create a space for discussion and future action around food, social justice and other pressing issues facing our society.
