// ABOUT MOSS

The Makers of Stuff Squad (MOSS) and Turf Projects have been working together since June 2014. MOSS are a collective of learning disabled adult artists from in and around Croydon.

// ABOUT SEA SQUAD

Sea Squad are Cheerleaders against Climate Change, who welcome everyone to join in rising up for the climate, before the sea level rises, and often involve audiences through participation.

The project was developed as part of Space, City, Land, Sea at ONCA in Brighton, England. And then expanded upon in residence at Est-Nord-Est, in Quebec. Since it has been performed as part of The London Design Festival, TEDxEastEnd, and exhibited at Turf Projects, The London Art Fair, The Nunnery Gallery, Something Other Live, Performance Club x TOMA x School of the Damned, and Lewisham People’s Day.

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.
