Artist Brunch with Becky Lyon

Join us for the launch of our artist brunches! Taking place four times a year, our artist brunches are an opportunity to get feedback on your work, while digesting food and ideas in a supportive environment.

Our co-director Rosie Crane Eckmire will be joined by Becky Lyon who will curate a brunch menu. This will be shared a week before the event. You’re also welcome to bring your own snacks, tea and coffee will be provided and dietary needs accommodated.

Sessions will include the opportunity to get to know one another as well as sharing your work.

Participants will only be able to show work once per year. To ensure dietary needs are accommodated there will be no drop-in spaces available. If you need support with signing up, please get in touch or drop-by Turf and we can book you in!

Spots will be limited to 8 bookable spaces per session, with 3 artists sharing work.

This event is part of At The Meadow’s Edge, Turf’s summer programme taking place across green spaces in Croydon.

ABOUT BECKY LYON

Becky Lyon is an English-Jamaican artist and researcher from London. Her practice is invested in the politics of ecology, particularly in England and the possibilities of artistic methods in rehearsing more equitable and liveable worlds. She often explores sensory and bodily knowledges as ways of reclaiming our relationship to place and resisting harmful power dynamics. Her work takes the form of tactile objects, sensory installations, hand-made moving image, audio experiments and publications. Her physical work is activated by a facilitation practice that invites audiences closer into dialogue and creates space for theory to emerge. Recent projects have included investigating notions of Britishness through the spread of the ‘invasive’ Muntjac deer; a heat-reactive installation for visitors to embody the uneven distribution of rising temperatures; performances for London’s polluted waters and surfacing relationships to soil and water through a pop-up cafe experience. She runs Ground Provisions, a ‘schooled-by-the-forest’ for adults and The Department of Artecology, a space for transdisciplinary conversations in the conservation sector. She is a Volunteer Ranger for London National Park City and is currently researching for her PhD, “Performing objects, tactile data, sense-ative documents and feelwork: touch as method for critical ecological stewardship in England” at Goldsmiths University. She side hustles as a consultant and trends researcher for global brands.
