Cultural Field Online Screening & ‘In-Conversation’

An online screening of Cultural Field followed by a discussion between artist Rosa-Johan Uddoh and curator Jessie Krish about the project.

Cultural Field is a new artist film developed by Rosa-Johan Uddoh, directed and produced by Louis Brown and Jos Bitelli (East London Cable) and performed by 12 female, non-binary & trans footballers, activists and performers. It is Uddoh’s most ambitious film project to date, made with over 30 collaborators, including: headwear designer Leo Carlton, graphic designer Rachel Sale, director of photography Lou MacNamara, with sound by Joe Namy and Toby Burroughs, animation by Bitelli and edited by Brown. The premiere of Cultural Field at the Whitgift Shopping Centre in partnership with Turf Projects, is presented alongside a public programme and new commissioned Fungus Press billboards by Uddoh, that extend the film’s exploration of public and private space – of Turf – beyond the shopping centre, in local green spaces.

WORKSHOP CODE:

Turf aims to be a space where all are welcomed & respected. We ask all attendees to align with this spirit when booking and support us in creating a welcoming & collaborative atmosphere together. We ask that everyone is;

  • Kind and respectful in our language and behaviour towards others. Turf is a space which is anti racism, sexism, homophobia and ableism.
  • Considerate of others’ time; allowing others room to speak & engage.
  • Respectful of the space itself as belonging to many people, treating the space & objects with care.
  • Attend wherever possible: In 2023, around 30% of people booking free tickets didn’t turn up! Our free tickets are limited and in high demand. Every person who doesn’t turn up means someone else can’t attend, so please let us know if you can’t make it to free up a space. If you don’t attend twice or more without letting us know, you may be restricted from booking again.
