We were involved in the Hyde and Seek art event, organised by John Slemensek and Jasmin Patel, which took place in the Hyde Park area of Leeds.
We set up a stall on Woodhouse Moor, where we layed on a generous spread of vegan delights ranging from, chocolate torte to pizza, and chocolate and ginger flapjack to bread, all homemade with our fair hands.
Our location was encircled in large trees, which we decorated with hand-crafted banners and flags all linking to the central point, a picnic bench, which was covered with tarpaulin surrounded by a rainbow of colourful balloons. The idea was to attract as many people as we could to sample and take away our vegan produce that we were giving away for free. Which we successfully did and received donations along the way! It was transformed into one big picnic, the community coming together over some homemade delights.

‘43 Minutes’
After the lighthearted approach of ‘This Little Piggy’, a piece with a more serious look felt like the right move to make.

’43 Minutes’ documents a journey. Journeys have a lot of connotations with humans, we all take journeys but we don’t think that they may be our last though. Which is another theme the video touches on; a last human journey can be referenced with the holocaust, the Jew’s on trains to the concentration camps.
This Little Piggy.
A mixture of stop motion animation and short films, This Little Piggy is a playful way of approaching serious issues; how supermarkets have monopolised and pushed local shops out. Their influence on the amount of money the producers get and how things have become about making more and more, cutting corners and turning things into a kind of factory; a money making machine, with no regard to life.

This film is pretty obvious and ‘in your face’ but because it is done in a playful, easy to watch way, it’s not lecturing you, instead its easy to watch but leaves you with things to think about.
