Exploring migration, land and post-colonial futures, the film honours grassroots resilience and radical self-determination.

Plant as Resistance at Deptford Literature Festival

Sign up for our free workshop as a part of the Deptford Literature Festival in partnership with Friends of Brookmill Park.

Where Liberatory Gardens & Farming Meet at Oxford Farming Real Conference

Where Liberatory Gardens & Farming Meet at Oxford Farming Real Conference

Where Liberatory Gardens and Farming Meet at Oxford Real Farming Conference for soft space for dreaming, where we’ll explore what it means to work towards liberation through tending the land.

Recovering a more reciprocal relationship to the land through farming and gardening can be nourishing on many levels. But what is needed to make all experiences working the land a liberatory act? Can flowers liberate as much as food? 

This session is inspired by new farms and growing projects emerging from urban centres, which take an inclusive, intersectional approach, prioritising meeting each other’s needs, alongside the needs of plants and the land. This session is a dreaming space for what liberation on the land looks like and how we can get there.
