michael eddy Bought from source in Lijiang upon the advice of Jay Brown of Lijiang Studio, an art center in Yunnan, China which the courier had been visiting in April 2012. Shipment was brought in luggage from Lijiang in trunk of Jay Brown's car to Kunming, Yunnan, then on airplane from Kunming Airport to Beijing. Approximately 5 kgs of cellar wine was transferred from 2 x 2.5 kg jugs to used liquor bottles for transport, as the original jugs not watertight. Not all liquid would fit in bottles, so a quantity was consumed before the flight, leading to mild drunkenness. Second air voyage made late August in same bottles, one of the original jugs brought along, from Beijing to Halifax, via 2 transfers. Luckily no flags from the stickler Canadian customs agents.

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
