"As we navigate the red tapes of art galleries and profit-driven institutions: we invite fellow artists, earthlings and those still standing, to pay a sacred homage to our once-green planet earth.

By recording and re-interpreting the trails of our existence, we hope to shed new light on our collected findings and build a discussion about the need for resilient communities. We welcome you and your creations to take shelter in the open space of Torriano Meeting House: including 2D works, sculpture, and miscellaneous works-in-progress. We will also welcome artists to submit proposals for workshops, music and theatre performances.

So come craft yourself a safe space to dwell in our latest exhibition. Find a quiet spot in the ‘Mattress of a Cave’ and take your newest pieces live on stage."

What is Torriano Meeting House? It is a large room with a stage. It is not Quaker but does have a spirit. The spirit is anarchist, bohemian, poetic. It is a space for creative work and pleasure. It is a place for trying out things. It is a seed bed for great ideas (The Poetry School started in this room, as did Survivor's Poetry), great careers (Emma Thompson doing stand up comedy, Susan Hiller and Terence Davis' experimental films). It is a welcoming tiny room for the already greats: Stephen Spender, Labi Siffre, Beki Mseleku, John Hegley, John Arden, Margarettta D'Arcy. It has been a home to the culture of migrants especially Iraqis, Hungarians, Irish... a home to peace activists, Stonehenge Campaigners, community groups, community politics... The spirit of Torriano eagerly cross fertilises between the poets, artists, philosophers, scientists and storytellers.
