three artists embarked on creating a body of work on an area of land that had been revealed during last year’s drought. Rutland Water is the largest human made lake in Europe and is a reservoir in the East Midlands of England. In its construction, in the 1970's, a village was drowned in order to create it. The lost village of Nether Hambleton was temporarily revealed, including extensive foundations of perished houses. The artists attested to queer, feminist and othered kinship through art making in these liminal lands. Through performance, making and installation a stage was set to examine the ecological and human implications of care.

Rūma panui totoro is a reading room of Māori feminist and takatāpui publishing which takes the form of a koro:
the bud of a fern unravelling.
For this first edition, Rūma panui totoro unfurls around two key periodicals on loan from the nearby Feminist Library Peckham: Bitches, Witches & Dykes: a women’s liberation newspaper (1980–82) and Broadsheet: New Zealand’s Feminist Magazine (1971-1998). Building outward contextually, thematically and graphically, Rūma panui totoro uncovers roaming readings of this period of Māori feminist lesbian organising as it vibrates across time and space.
Alongside the reading room, a free publication will be available including new texts by Hana Pera Aoake & Dr Sorcha Thompson, exploring the role print publishing plays in indigenous sovereignty and solidarity movements from Aotearoa to Palestine.
