Event: B|T|W||N THE L|AV|S: A Critical De/Compost Reading Group @ The Mosaic Rooms, Wed 16 Nov 4.00pm-6.00pm
For the fourth session of B|TW|N THE L|AV|S: A Critical De/Compost Reading Group, we turn to Anna Tsing’s essay on ‘The Forest of Collaborations,’ which centres on the model of community-managed forests in Indonesia. Tsing offers us “friction” as a tool to assess the sticky complexities of “community-based” collaboration; different agendas across common projects; “productive confusion” and “awkward coalescence”.
Event: EARTHSHAPES #8 CHERISHING - SAMHAIN - THURS 3RD NOV, 6.30PM-8.00PM
For the final EARTHSHAPES, we take a moment to celebrate, honour, revere and cherish the people, places, experiences and encounters that have become ‘ancestral’ material for the year past. We will reflect outwards and joyfully map our (spider…) webs of connection and gratitude.
Event: EARTHSHAPES #7 Re-Storying - Thu 29 Sept
For our penultimate EARTHSHAPES journey through the seasons we gather around the fire in the urban woodlands of Phytology to brew up new stories for changing times. As we reach the Autumn Equinox, half light, half dark themes of both harvest and decay emerge - what do we want to carry with us and what needs renewing?

Exhibition and events : Reimagining Joya
How is the concept of the 'artist residency' shifting in response to these "current times"? The Reimagining Joya exhibition is a collection of tangible reflections from the Joya Art & Ecology Residency in Spain and how ideas sparked through intense meetings with unfamiliar places can radically shift our perspectives and manifest or remerge in new sites and times.
Event: B|T|W||N THE L|AV|S: A Critical De/Compost Reading Group @ The Mayday Rooms, Wed 7 Sep 2.00pm-4.00pm
Join us for Wednesday 7th September in the kitchen of MayDay Rooms, Fleet Street as we tend to the deviant molecularity of fermentation through Stephanie Maroney’s rich article, “Sandor Katz and the Possibilities of a Queer Fermentive Praxis.”
Installation: Dia(log)ues with Dead Wood @ Stanmore Country Park
What can dead wood teach us about “waste”? How does it challenge what we think of as “dead” and “alive”? What could it teach us about living in relationship with each other?
