Leila McAlister of Leila’s Shop will pose questions about why, from her position in central London, E1, it is so complicated to stock certain 'normal' things, such as fresh lettuce from England. James Alwyn of Chi London, a company that promotes commercial opportunities to reduce carbon emissions, will talk logistics of transporting and the artist Caitlin Elster will discuss materials and packaging, addressing the normalisation of salad bags.

Lettuce will be available on the night.

Entry free with Admission Ticket.
