Description Part performance lecture, part snack exchange, GUTFUL responds to radical texts from the library's archives to create a series of artistic dining experiences at the State Library of Victoria. Fusing APHIDS' future-focused politics with Long Prawn's divergent food thinking, GUTFUL will liberate the food-free zone of the library and turn it into a site for unexpected snacks, drinks and ideas.

GUTFUL: Revolt! reflects on the Library's history as a site for dissent -investigating how the peace and quiet of the Library intersects with the agitation of protest. Interrogating which snacks have radical histories and what cookbooks in the State Collection speak to cultural upheaval and social change, this event asks the question: how can food be used as a tool for activism?
