**"I want people to think that food doesn't have to come hundreds of miles to your plate, you can grow it here. A lot of the food at FEASTival is grown within the boundaries of the city, in the incredible allotments that Hull has got."**John Pickles grows food right in the heart of the city, in the bed outside The Wilson Centre. It's food for people to harvest as they pass by.This #freedomFEASTival series of portrait/podcasts has been commissioned by Freedom Festival Arts Trust, in partnership with Timebank Hull & ER, and Artlink.More about Freedom Festival FEASTival 2018 here:[https://www.freedomfestival.co.uk/projects/freedom-feastival/](https://www.freedomfestival.co.uk/projects/freedom-feastival/)
