wago Patabágun ___ We will eat presently (2010) was a mobile sculpture hosting a series of public picnics designed to re-activate the historically loaded site of the MCA. This location has long been an important food gathering area for Indigenous people and was also home to the Commissariat Store, built in 1812 by Governor Macquarie to supply provisions for the burgeoning colony. Inspired by mobile structures used by food hawkers across Asia, our re-engineered cart incorporated a beehive of native stingless bees and all the equipment needed to serve freshly cooked pikelets and native honey to the public. Responding to the contemporary urban food crisis, as well as the site’s Indigenous and colonial histories, the work was a platform for imagining, researching and discussing the future of food. It also functioned as a model for localised food production and distribution in a city environment.
