Food for Free Brandon Hill + The Rosehip Trade

Kayle Brandon + Heath Bunting (UK)

As part of the artists' ongoing mapping project, visitors are invited to view Bristol via the edible plant organisms living within the city's public spaces. Edible feral, wild and domestic plants can be located, identified and harvested using this map that excludes road names in favour of plant names. The artists have selected a section of their map to be rendered as a brass memorial plaque, focusing on Brandon Hill. Visitors are invited to make their own Food for Free brass rubbing to take away and use in the Park where the plaque will be re-located in Spring 2010, a short walk from Arnolfini. In Arnolfini Café Bar, The Rosehip Trade invites public contributions of foraged rosehips as ingredients for its menu in exchange for a rosehip drink and recipe leaflet that explores the different histories of this seasonal fruit.
