Toasties, Talks & Tinnies // Art of Food Waste

Wollongong’s food waste legends Hidden Harvest invite you to our annual community art extravaganza: the Art of Food Waste! Join us as we leave our kitchens to play with food in a whole new context: Project Contemporary Gallery. 

In collaboration with Healthy Cities Illawarra we’re bringing together a panel of interesting humans to chat about building food resilience in our communities. Hear insights from those actively contributing to building a stronger local food system, and explore what is needed to make things better now and in the future. We are over the moon to welcome:

A researcher, sustainability-doer and “waste not” home chef that has been exploring the important intersection of community-based initiatives and government policy.

🍎 Berbel Franse

Founder of Hidden Harvest, Coordinator of community coalition Food Fairness Illawarra and driver behind the recently launched Wollongong Online Farmers Market, Berbel is a passionate advocate for a fairer, more resilient food system.

🍐 Cliodhna Maquire

🥪 GOURMET TOASTIES
Hidden Harvest’s art happens in the kitchen: we transform would-be wasted produce into gourmet toasties for your eating pleasure! Our toasties are made with love, and each serving helps us change waste into taste. Vegan & Vegetarian options available.

🍺 FRESH TINNIES
Local gin connoisseurs Births & Deaths have teamed up with South Coast Distillery to create a delicious gin tinnie for your sippin’ pleasure: Citriodora Explora. Bursting with notes of Lemon Myrtle, it’ll freshen your Sunday right up. We’ll also have non-alcoholic tinnies available.
