"The lrish Hunger Memorial is designed to raise public awareness of the events that led to the famine of 1845-52 and to encourage efforts to address current and future hunger worldwide. One and a half million Irish were lost through famine related death and the Diaspora. The design expresses a desire to react and respond to changing world events without losing its focus on the project's commemorative intent. Central to Tolle's project is an authentic Famine-era cottage donated to the Memorial by his extended family, the Slacks of Attymass, County Mayo, Ireland. The cottage has been painstakingly reconstructed on the Memorial's halfacre site as an expression of solidarity to those who left from those who stayed behind. From the cottage, visitors to the Memorial meander along paths winding through a rugged landscape thickly planted with native Irish flora-plants often found growing in fallow fields. Ascending to an overlook twenty-five feet above the ground, the visitor confronts a breath-taking view of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island beyond.This landscape is cantilevered over a stratified base of glass and fossilized Irish limestone, presenting a theater of historical and modern sentiments about famine worldwide. Layers of mutable text, appearing beyond touch as shadows upon the glass, wrap around the exterior of the Memorial and into the passageway leading to the cottage while accounts of world hunger are heard from an audio installation overhead.
Brian Tolle is an internationally renowned sculptor and public artist. His recent public works include Waylay for the Whitney Biennel in Central
Park (2002), Man's Achievements on a Shrinking Globe in an Expanding Universe for the Queens Museum of Art (2001) and WitchCatcher at
MetroTech Center Brooklyn (1997) reinstalled in New York City Hall Park (2003). Using a variety of media, his works draw themes from the scale
and experience of their surroundings provoking a re-reading by cross-wiring reality and fiction. In much of his work he uses cutting-edge
technology in unexpected ways, blurring the border between the contemporary and the historical."

Dedicated on July 16, 2002, the Irish Hunger Memorial (which takes its name from the Irish term for the famine of 1845-52, "An Gorta Mor," The Great Hunger) stands on a half-acre site at the corner of Vesey Street and North End Avenue in Battery Park City, between the Embassy Suites Hotel and the Hudson River.
In March, 2000, the Authority commissioned the design of "a contemplative space, devoted to raising public awareness of the events that led to the Great Irish Hunger and Migration of 1845-1852." The Memorial was intended to serve also as a catalyst for addressing current issues of world hunger.
I took some photos earlier in the year of this busy junction, and the improvements. It is mostly finished, and makes it much easier to walk and cycle around the area.

2015 Beyond Hunger: A Place at the Table

To raise awareness and support for the Horn of Africa, Rebecca Drouin decided to shave her head. Through media awareness she asked people to donate to the Horn of Africa and committed to shaving her head if she reached her goal. Rebecca met her goal and has raised $1,380 for CARE Canada, 200,000 grains of rice through FreeRice and educated people about hunger abroad. Rebecca was inspired by the Masai tribe from the Masai Mara in Kenya who use head shaving as a symbol of change and new beginnings. Photo credit: Jesse James Photography
today marks the start
of the last stage of spring
take me to the forest
park me in the light
(I brake for blackfly bites)
sometimes I feel bad
that I want them to starve
carve out a place
for the last of their kind
no place to hide
(since I've
committed
to genocide)
I lied about
my benevolent nature
it doesn't extend
to the smallest creatures
if I can crush them
between my fingers
no court should say I can't
so grant me the serenity
to take a life I could live without
bugs have their hunger
and humans,
their doubt

Hunger strike protest for amending the referendum law continued at the Legislative Yuan on Sunday. The scene will be somewhat different tomorrow as protesters converge on the area to protest against the arrival of ARATS Chair Chen Yunlin.
My fingertips are hungry.
Your skin the only nourishment that they crave.
I want to chew at you with my fingernails.
Devour every inch of you with my palms.
I'm starving here, and you are miles away.

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eye still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times. (Pink Floyd)
تا ابد در چنگال اشتیاق و بلندپروازی
عطشی هست که هنوز سیراب نشده
چشمان خسته ما هنوز به سوی افق بال می گشاید
هر چند بارها از این راه رفته است
