Adapt

Photo dump: some bits of our work @gaiasgardenldn ! . Urban environments can often actually foster nature amazingly well, because of the consistently generated heat from our buildings and activity. That’s why our identity for @gaiasgardenldn is based on heat maps of the city. . . . . . Big ups as ever to the myth, the legend, @nateagbetu . Conceptualised by @tinawetshi , @siso.studio , @ayzmar_ , @itsnysza , @eleanorgracehann_ + @nogalevyrapoport Produced by @nateagbetu Spatial Design by @urbangrowthlondon In partnership with @dominvsgroup

Today is the launch of our latest project, PROTEST GEAR: Scarves! This is the first in an ongoing collaborative platform exploring the concept of protest garments for use in and out of direct action. Link in Bio This first edition brings together 8 artists who have all created their own version of a Protest Scarf. Recognising the signals of football crowds and the language and uniform of football garments, this project takes inspiration from football fandom. A scarf signifies what team a football fan supports. These scarves signify the side of social issues these artists are on. Alongside these art pieces, we have collaborated with @ecoknitware and @kniterate to produce two fundraising scarves on a strictly made-to-order basis, with 23% of the sale price going to Client Earth. The made-to-order scarves are produced with fully traceable and sustainable yarns. A huge thank you to everyone who has given their time to this project!

!INTRODUCING! The first piece from Protest Gear II. This is the Protest Poncho. Our entire new collection is a response to the UK government's recent policing bill. It is hand made using excess fabric directly from @raeburn_design , and can be worn with the message boldly shown, or cleverly concealed (to help escape the police and distance yourself from trouble, only to join in later). This is a unique piece -not currently for sale- the first edition of our new collection. The rest will be released later this year, stay alert for it. Garment design + Construction: Megan Ashton, Richard Ashton Concept: Richard Ashton, Josie Tucker Video: Josie Tucker This piece is not for sale
