Abstract
We describe a participatory art/research project envisioning alternative infrastructures enabling food as a Universal Basic Service in the context of food poverty and the cost of living crisis. The four-year process involving people who have received food aid as well as food activists was co-produced with the National Food Service, a mutual aid group trialling new models for a more just food system. Modelling our creative research on this group’s careful engagement to build communal structures based on a “solidarity not charity” model of mutual care, we devised a process of infrastructural co-design and creative visioning for more just urban food futures. We reflect on the interplay of physical and social infrastructures and the role of food in care and mutual aid settings.
