--------------------LIVE TRADING BAR -----------------------
This installation was commissioned by Urban Organisms at The NewBridge Project Space, May 16th-13th June, Newcastle 2015. The opening performance involved participants earning their drink through trading. It takes a socio-political approach to the value society ascribes to food through actively encouraging participation.
Urban Organisms examined and creatively explored food sustainability in cities. It included film screenings, participatory workshops, walks, talks and an exhibition featuring artists Fernando Garcia Dory, N55, Magdalena Starska, Mikey Tomkins, Caitlin & Andrew Webb Ellis and Julia Wilmott. Co-curated by Lauren Healey, Sabina Sallis and Julia Heslop.
