Hat, Hand or Boot is a piece of procedural architecture that explores the communal act of dining, and centres on a theatrical meal. Each element of the dinner party, from spoons and bowls to tables and chairs, will be designed and made by Master students from RMIT Interior Design, School of Architecture and Urban Design, as a contemplation on the complex entanglement of self and world.

At the dinner party, Long Prawn will collaborate with students to prepare a conceptual feast centred on three provocations that could represent the future of food. In thinking, redefining, and challenging food, we must confront some harsh realities: broken systems riddled with corn syrup, food deserts, and extreme waste. As we redesign our implements for sitting, eating, and sharing, one hopes surely, that we can redesign our ability to eat consciously and conscientiously.

This progressive offering of snack will offer four (4) future forward morsels upon elements of progressive design. As such, an open mind and palette are recommended, we kindly note that due to the experimental and temporary nature of this event, we are unable to accommodate all dietaries. Largely the menu will be plant-based with the possibility of some well-sourced animal products.
