Stage one: Pending
Each morning the handbuild samosa cart would be filled with fresh samosas from the local deli. Travelling each day for two weeks in the summer of 2016, we moved between workshops in Digbeth, exchanging samosas for time; to learn about the area, local makers and industries.
At each stop, the cart was altered somehow with objects, materials or skills donated by the people of Digbeth.
Stage two: Reseaching
Metal trades and tools
