Feral Trade Café has been open to and experienced by a diverse public
for nearly 8 weeks now. Serving food and drink that has been traded via
physical, social networks, Feral Trade Café by artist Kate Rich (AU)
provides a convivial setting from which to contemplate broader changes
to our climate and economies, where conventional supply chains (for food
delivery and cultural funding) could go belly up.

Feral Trade uses social and cultural hand baggage to transport grocery
items between cities, often using other artists and curators as mules.
The exhibition includes a retrospective display of Feral Trade products
(2003-present), alongside ingredient route maps, bespoke food packaging,
video and other artefacts from the Feral Trade network. The café will
stock and serve a selection of Feral Trade goods from a menu including
coffee from El Salvador, hot chocolate from Mexico and sweets from
Montenegro, as well as locally sourced bread, vegetables and herbs.
Along with their food and drink, diners will be served waybills
detailing the socially facilitated transit of goods to their plate.
