Come cosy up with a good mixtape and read between the leaves at Muntjac, a growing DIY archive and space for slow study exploring taking care of nature (and being taken care of) on/in the margins.

The project was prompted into being by encounters with the ‘invasive’ muntjac deer inspiring thinkings and writings around belonging, Britishness, xenophobia and conservation bias in England - just small subjects then!

For the Tending group exhibition at Turf Projects Croydon, a diverse set of voices join the conversation to share how other knowledges, usually marginalised at the edges can enrich, trouble and otherwise make other forms of nature stewardship possible. And also, how marginalised communities can sustain their work whilst consistently being other/ed in hostile environments and spaces of dominance.

Posters, pamphlets, zines, stickers, chapbooks, flyers, bookmarks, badges and MP3 files take cues from the undercurrents of publishing and form a pocket-sized library for reading, reflecting and contributing to the conversation.

Expect to encounter contributions from: the Black Seeds Network and Out On The Land; All The Elements and community farmers; ESEA Green Lions and Sustainably Muslim among many more.

Opening at Sat 14 Mar - Sun 21 June 2026, Turf Projects Croydon.

Events coming soon.
