CafeLab Funding Success

August 10, 2022

Tania Lewis, Martyn Hook and the CafeLab team, including chef-activist Helen Addison-Smith, have won nearly 50K from the ECP Strategic Capability Deployment fund.

Based on Smith St in Collingwood, the project is an RMIT Living Lab for creative experiments in zero waste, zero hunger food futures. Currently under development, this mixed use space will host arts residencies, studios and music performances, among many other activities!

The CafeLab team will hold information sessions on the project soon but if you’re interested in getting involved please contact
