While they work to establish a permanent home for the BMoF, B&P do collaborations with established institutions like the Victoria and Albert Museum as well as temporary installations. “We’re sort of a moving, roving nomadic museum at the moment,” he says. The latest iteration took place at the Borough Market this winter. It included exhibits like “Be the Bolus,” whereby visitors could experience what it feels like to be a hunk of chewed-off food going along the human digestive track. The cross-modal experience was obtained with a PillCam, and a massage chair that pummeled you up and down as watched the film, so you could feel what it’s like for the bolus. There was also the butterfly gallery that highlighted the fact that butterflies are “some of the unsung heroes of pollination.” The takeaway? “We are trying to think about how to make sustainability really sexy, making people ask questions rather than belaboring them with gloom and doom about the current state of the planet and food security.”
