OPENING TONIGHT! Lubber Buds  PV: Wednesday 7th January 2026, 6-8pm Open: Thursdays to Sundays, 11-6pm Final Day: Sunday 1st February, 11-4pm At The Florence Trust, Holy Trinity, Cloudesley Square, Barnsbury, London N1 0HN Please see below the press release, and I hope you can make it. Press Release:  'Lubber Buds' is a presentation of Joe Preston’s cinematic film installation Closing the Loop, alongside etchings, photographs and drawings on paper. Closing the Loop is part of a new body of work that examines human eco-systems and food and waste practices, at a time of environmental collapse. The film attends to the routines and cycles that make up planet Earth’s delicate balance. This rhythm is one that over recent decades has been pushed more and more out of sync by climate change.  The film considers climate catastrophe and the human's place within it, as a series of interlinked loops and cycles like a musical score, that due to human interference is now out of time - with each cycle, season or year becoming more and more out of time with each other. Filmed across the entire country, from the Masai Mara all the way across to the South Sudanese borderlands, Closing the Loop features an array of grassroots organisations including Afriscout, Sanergy and The Bug Picture, centred around subsistence farmers and attempts towards ecological initiatives. Closing the Loop is soundtracked by an original score from composer Euan Hinshelwood.  ‘Preston highlights the pioneering work of an ecological initiative that aims to educate smallholder family farmers in organic alternatives for soil improvement, utilising material made from the offspring of abundant black soldier flies… Deftly switching between the micro and the macro, demonstrating how down-and-dirty hands-on involvement is a prerequisite of any well-meaning sustainable practice, [the film] Closing the Loop is disarmingly intimate, powerfully engaged and keenly observed.’  — extract from text by Steven Bode, FVU Umbrella Many many thanks to the Florence Trust for having us, for Lu for curating, Euan for doing the amazing music, Isabelle for building the entire thing and Jake Vine for the fantastic posters

Nice little test print of a piece of signage from one of my favourite farm shops

A great project designing and printing in collaboration with @__max___f Each printed slip is a translation of excerpts of the work of Elsa Morante. Morante wrote these works in response to the global 1968 protests. The work these quotes are taken from focused on the hope children bring to the creation of a new society, whilst being critical of the politics of the day. These slips were on display at the Museum De Lakenhal earlier in the year.

Had the pleasure of printing these wonderful pieces for @platesx5 designed by @joe.bradleyhill Each plate is a written work by the wonderful writers @jb_glazer @candlehirst @bog__daughter @lou_moon Launched at The Social The text on these was beautifully small, and printing them was a challenge but a gratifying one They’re available at @platesx5 in their bio
