1: The ROVING “food Spiral” USURPERS: Seeking your expertise!
Come roam with uS! The cargo trike will be our base for the food-scrap bins, soil building samples and growing food systems. We will be moving slowly through the diversity “banded” around this Cargo Trike holding back the swarms of eager food recyclers and kids vying to see the worms.
The MoS Roving Usurpers are a participatory moving installation: • accepting food scrap donations for soil building • answering questions about soil building w food • gifting a pot o soil w seedling*.

How to find us: if you are not at the Stockpiles by 12:00 you have to look for us. Shouldn’t be painful but you may have distractions. Look for the cargo bike group and the MoS Banner on the side.
