The Cultural and Community Engagement team UCL East announced early this month the winners of the 2024 UCL East Engagement Awards.This is the first year the Awards have been held, and the team received nearly 30 inspiring nominations across six different categories.
Dr Hanna Baumann together with artist Johann Arens received the Excellence in Co-Creation Award for Another Provision, a collaborative project focused on food injustice.
Jointly with the UK-wide mutual aid network National Food Service (NFS) and its members, Hanna and Johann developed a joint vision of food as a Universal Basic Service.

Another Provision has created meaningful connections between UCL and east London communities, bridging the divides between art, research and activism, as well as between ‘providers’ and ‘recipients’ of food support.
