Its Delivery Time

Ankit Kumar Singh

A hand-pushed cart service offers refreshments to food delivery riders in the city of Eindhoven, drawing public attention to their daily struggles.

Its Delivery Time addresses the daily struggles and dehumanizing experiences of food delivery riders by providing them with a dedicated space in Eindhoven's public life. Through a hand-pushed cart service, this initiative offers refreshments to cater to riders’ immediate bodily needs and a sense of welcome that challenges their prevailing sense of anonymity in public spaces. By initiating dialogue and belonging between the riders and the general public, Its Delivery Time challenges the typically anonymous and alienated encounters between riders and customers to become meaningful interactions. By campaigning with supermarkets and stakeholders to support the initiative, the project raises awareness of the social challenges and precarity faced by these labourers and addresses remnant models of colonial labor.
