Can you feed the 2,150 urban residents, that live within 500 metres of SPACE, using the 25 hectares of land that houses them?

“YOU ARE HUNGRY” is a proposal to investigate this question by taking a walk with Mikey Tomkins and his "Edible Map” as your guide.

Walks start from SPACE in Hackney and will last approximately 45mins.

The map displays the potential food that could be grown within the immediate streets, parks and grassed areas around SPACE gallery. The walk will pass through the vegetable belt of Sheep Lane, the Vineyards of Pritchard's Road, and the apiaries of Goldsmiths Row.

Each walk last approximately one hour. There are places for five people on each walk. The walks are not lectures but will form part of a discussion about architecture, planning and foods apparent exclusion and potential inclusion. The walks will be audio recorded and with walkers permission used on a web version of the edible map.


Mikey Tomkins, local beekeeper and PhD student at the University of Brighton has created the project.
