Caught by the River

New in the Shop

7th November 2024

Here’s a look at the latest additions to our Bandcamp page…

A new magazine from recent The Flatplan graduate Louisa Minter-Kemp, Community Gardens is dedicated to sharing stories about the many community gardens which can be found scattered across the (actually quite green) city of London, offering ‘a quiet refuge to the relentlessly fast-paced city life.’

In this debut issue, hear from Tayshan Hayden-Smith on the creation of the Grenfell Peace Garden; Deptford’s own Kwesia, who is on a mission to harness nature’s healing power: and from Niellah Arboine, writer and former editor of Where the Leaves Fall, on their time spent in community gardens.

The latest edition of FUKT — #22, The Nature Issue — explores the timeless bond between drawing and the natural world. This issue brings together artists from six continents who capture nature from different perspectives. You’ll find conversations on queer ecology, stories of pioneering female botanists, and reflections on how drawing can deepen our connection to the environment.

FUKT #22 also shares personal memories tied to nature and discusses the urgent need to preserve our planet’s diverse ecosystems. From the forests of the Amazon to prairies and landscapes shaped by wind and fire, this issue invites you to reconnect with the beauty and significance of the world around us.
