Current state of play (May 7th 2009): hoarding remaining stock for Cube Cinema & HTTP Gallery use; comtacting social networks for leads on a future supply, source location open. freight and handling coffee Nonualco to Cube Microplex sponsored by FERALTRADE products passed by hand. The word 'feral' describes a process that is deliberately wild, as in pigeon, as opposed to nature wild (wolf). Feral Trade freight operates largely outside commercial channels, using the surplus potential of social, cultural and data networks for the distribution of goods. contact kate@feraltrade.org
