+===== SHORT VERSION =====
+Feral Trade cafe at HTTP gallery
+Feral Trade http://feraltrade.org
+HTTP http://www.http.uk.net
+HTTP is a cultural minority in a mainly working class and cafe free
+residential area of NE London. The cafe will start off very small scale and
+is modelled as a means of extending natural office tea and coffee service
+to gallery visitors and locals. It
+is not motivated by cash profit, although goods should cover their own
+costs.
+All goods will be served with information about source and/or delivery,
+including the materiality of cash transactions performed to procure them.
+Visitors should be able to buy coffee etc either by the cup or in bags to
+take home.
+The feral trade courier process uses moving social networks, including
+known and funded cultural travel to UK, to conduct international grocery
+trade by primarily social means. It expands the idea of food provenance
+beyond a gourmet-style fetishisation of origins, to a critical broader
+ecology of supply.
+The cafe hopes to promote inter-organisational trade with artistic peers,
+local and foreign, and to expand a definition of localness beyond the
+territorial boundaries of the village or state, to a shared set of
+connections and navigable transit routes, like the scale-free hubs of the
+internet.
