What if we were to consider liberation a practice of cultivation? What would happen if we understood our diverse practices as tools and our ideas as seeds? What (eco)systems are we building to replace colonial-capitalist ones? And what would the shape of an (infra)structure from which we store, develop, and transform these tools, seeds and ecosystems look like?
In this, we will attempt to collectively respond to these questions.
Throughout October, we will meet in-person 4 times to intentionally imagine, discuss and manifest the garden shed of liberation. These sessions will be culminate in co-build across two weekends in November.
Tickets are more available information here. Please note: session open to BPOC participants only.

tampopo feasts (Maki Ramaditya) will be hosting delicious collaborations: Cultivating radical attention with kimchi in the garden.
What timelines and worlds could fermentation help us navigate? How can cultivating a radical attention help us taste-feel-think our way to delicious futures?
Through hands-on kimchi making, we’ll attune to the very big, the very slow, and the very tiny – from global food systems and climate colonialism, to the worlds of Lactobacillus microbes. Participants will be invited to discuss the importance of rewriting food stories as we collaborate on our kimchi with fresh produce from the garden.
Please bring a jar or tub for your kimchi, and a snack in case you get hungry!
Book a free space here for the workshop. Tickets go live at 6pm Tuesday 4th November.

Join Ro & Shan this Saturday for co-creating the commons. This is a creative workshop centered around sharing how we cultivate a connection to the land and ways to practice that connection.

We’ll then watch Ro’s short film, Trespass! a film that explores connection to nature, land justice and features the voices of Right to Roam protestors celebrating a win for wild camping on Dartmoor.
We’ll then explore the garden to collect and record textures through different methods and come back together to create a communal collage whilst reflecting on prompts.

Gathering with cloth, we stitch new worlds into being. Join us in the garden to make a community banner for Earth Tenders – no sewing experience needed. We draw on rich traditions of community banner and quilt making, finding power and solace in the collective art of making. We will walk the garden together, to gain inspiration from the bountiful colours and textures of the land and its harvest. We will create patches capturing the beauty of our plant and animal kin, to sew on to the banner.
This banner is our love letter to the garden.
For this session, we will be led by Yuna.
Yuna researches and creates around a constellation of subjects spanning climate change, ecological justice, intergenerational movements and time travelling imaginaries. Exploring through words, cloth and collective making.
Come as you are, all materials provided!
