Famine memorials have, up to now, focused on starvation as an outcome or an experience. A memorial that tried to evoke starvation as a criminal act that people do to one another would not just relate to the victims, but also to the perpetrators, their accomplices, and bystanders. This is a necessary shift today, because famine is returning.
