QUAD, Market Place, Cathedral Quarter, Derby, DE1 3AS
9 May – 4 Oct 2026
Free event
Opening on 9 May and running for five months, a curation of three We Feed The UK stories is on tour in Derby’s cultural hub, QUAD.
Curious minds will journey through tales of women in Scotland reclaiming the custodianship of seed, farming, and food that they hold in most Indigenous cultures; of Black-led collectives in London sharing soursop, watermelon, and cane, ripened in glasshouses with the expertise of 80-year-olds who carried agroecology to these isles from their ancestors; and of the soil inhabiting collaborators of Northumberland, restoring the diversity of vitamins and minerals underground that nourish life above.
The exhibition opens with a launch party on 9 May, with live poetry flowing through the space, greeting creatives and growers alike.
Held to nourish unfolding regional networks, the stories exhibited invite attendees to reimagine a locally-led food system, with the strength and ambition needed to counter corporate food production.
QUAD is open to visitors Thursday – Sunday from noon until late.
