Coming Home

Every Friday, individuals who wish to connect with the land and garden communally are invited to attend PLOT 22's Garden Fridays.

In this intimate programme we meet three people who regularly attend the sessions and hear what drew them to the allotment. In understanding their relationship with the land we learn about the remarkable transformation it has had on their lives.

The Packing Shed

From Vaska Trajkovska | 29:00

The story of a unique landmark off the eastern coast of England - a packing shed built in the 1890s for the cleaning, sorting, and packing of oysters.

Img_1802_small The story of a unique landmark off the eastern coast of England - a packing shed built in the 1890s for the cleaning, sorting, and packing of oysters.

Oysters were central to the local economy of Mersea Island and were exported to hotels and restaurants in London and beyond.

As time passed, The Packing Shed fell into disrepair.

This documentary explores how a community restored the shed to its former glory and the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the trust that sought to revive and protect it. 

Bare As You Dare!

From Vaska Trajkovska | 18:13

Every year, in cities across the world, cyclists throw off their clothes and ride naked as part of the World Naked Bike Ride - a global protest movement that celebrates bodies and human-powered transport, promotes green energy, and campaigns against car culture, oil dependency, and the destruction of the environment.

Wnbr-bton-jun06-rogerbamber_small The World Naked Bike Ride is a global protest movement that takes place in cities each year.

The movement celebrates bodies and human-powered transport, promotes green energy, and campaigns against car culture, oil dependency, and the destruction of the environment. 

In this piece, I focus on the rides in the UK and talk to cyclists both old and new to the event and discover the many reasons why people are drawn to ride naked en masse.

“Everything we do, everything we say, is a story”

Over the course of one summer, a series of workshops were hosted by PLOT 22, an allotment garden, exploring the craft of storytelling.

Stories are so integral to our experience of being human; they powerfully resonate with each and every one of us.

Immerse yourself in the stories that were created and told at the PLOT and be inspired to tell your own story.
