/// why do we only see all generations together at weddings or funerals? ///
we asked that question in august, threw a jamaican independence link up in south london + four generations showed up.
afterwards, you kept asking when we were doing it again.
so we thought we should probably do something about that.
this is what we’ve come up with so far.
-
more reasons to get all the generations together.
/// rock back ///
our big monthly intergenerational link up.
food · music · games · vendors · dancing + a different ting of the month.
/// front room ///
our little intergenerational link up.
inspired by everybody ending up at granny’s house back in the day.
might be a movie night. might be a creative night. might be games, food + music. we’ll choose a different ting each month.
-
people · places · food · traditions · everyday life.
we’ll tell stories + share tings we think are worth knowing about, doing + experiencing.
in london + across the islands.
[stories coming soon…]
-
stay for a little while.
/// the family project residency ///
Four months studio-based residency, centered around turning time with family, into memories you can keep.
/// abroad residencies (not got an official name yet!) ///
2–4 weeks in tobago (& soon other islands); slowing down + spending enough time there to actually settle in.
connecting with culture + traditions, people + place, each other + ourselves.
less trying to squeeze an island into a holiday.
more time to actually be there.

we’re not going to pretend we know exactly what rionce caribbean will become. we don’t.
we started with a question, tried something + realised quite a few of you wanted more of it too.
so we’ll keep making things, listening, learning + seeing where it takes us.
