SupaStore Shut Up

Turf will be hosting ‘SupaStore Shut Up’, a one day opening for our closing shop.

In keeping with the times that we live in, when all manner of IRL (in real life) retail is closing down across the world, Turf is closing our physical shop. ‘SupaStore Shut Up’ is an intervention by Sarah Staton and students from the Royal College of Art. Playing both with the phenomenon of dying retail, and accelerated timeframes. A one day opening/closing event, a fire sale of sorts, in which end times might for a moment take on the aura of fun times. The SupaStore will feature artworks made by the students, half price stock from Turf Projects and items from invited guests. Come down for some bargains, a bevy and brilliant artworks in progress!

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.
