Feel so so warm to have been a part of #croydonharvestfestival2026 adding new traditions to Croydon’s 700 year old festival 🍁 Thanks @essentialaspects for having us and the support from @culturecroydon
We shared one of the oldest Chinese tale of the moon goddess Chang’e 嫦娥with our MOONBEAM 夢邊 SHRINE and was met with the cutest blessings and shrine from local kids celebrating the moon, the harvest and everything they love.
Here is a little record - sharing blessings, togetherness & creativity to nourish us in the cooling autumn 🍂 🌕
Keep warm,
Vroomlab x Alysha

// JOM! a (book) club, we’re back //
A little side quest for Ellandar. Run by @ishbishbosh, @scoutsara and, joining us for this next chapter, @alyshanelson. 📖
Our relaunch read is ‘Celestial Lights’, @cecilekvpin’s new novel.
A new book • A third person • The same intention to explore and shout out about Asian writers & stories.
So. A (book) club. In brackets… because maybe it’s more than just reading books.
Sara & Iskandar met while they were at high school in Western Australia. Neither of them was from there.
Two decades later. In their thirties. In London. They’re still asking questions about who they are. But they are more articulate, more decisive, much better looking, and serious about uplifting, talking about, and investigating their Asianness and they want to do it together and with other people.
Iskandar met Alysha three years ago. They made work with @headlongtheatre and @thersc exploring digital technologies in performance. Now they’re trying something with fewer cables. Mostly paper. Probably snacks.
Cue Alysha. And maybe you. 💛
Plus. They like art. They like culture. They like books.
JOM! rhymes with roam. In Malay it means “let’s go”.
You don’t have to bring your Asianness to the table. You don’t have to qualify yourself at all. This is fun. Just bring your curiosity.
Date & location coming soon. Pick up a copy. Message us if you’d like to join.
So. Jom!

📣 We are excited to announce the release of our new toolkit “𝗧𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 –– 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.”
🌈 Developed in dialogue with Sanabel Abdel Rahman @sanabelar & Alysha Nelson @alyshanelson , this toolkit is a collection of recipes, or a book of spells 🔮, to guard and expand our imaginations.
Working against the domination of extractive mythologies, settler and postcolonial realities, and neoliberal hangovers, Towards Life unearths tools that protect our capacity to imagine and to radically imagine otherwise – away from the sense of hopelessness, exhaustion and burnout affecting many of us working at the front line of social and environmental justice.
🪄 The tools gathered in 𝗧𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 span from somatic practices and daily rituals to rethinking leadership in entanglement with the more-than-human; from fantastical storytelling pushing us to re-enchant our imagination and deepen our understanding of the magical complexity and wisdom of the planet holding us, to critical sharings showing the powerful ways in which activists and communities stand against the ongoing attempts of life disruptions while continuing, through radical joy and imagination, to hold all possible grounds. 🌿
Through playful, gentle, fearful, or thought-provocking offerings, the voices of this toolkit invite you to embrace radical imagination and joy to reimagine planetary regeneration ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
🔗 Follow the link in bio to access the toolkit, and if you would like to contribute with a tool yourself, do get in touch! We would love to add a new crop to our digital garden ;)

🌿 Check out all 2026 videos up on our website 👆Today’s spotlight is on Team Paru 🌫️
Paru is an interactive place-based documentary grounded in a decade of peatland field research that structures the transboundary haze crisis as a series of decisions and exchanges by exploring impossible economic choices facing smallholder farmers in West Kalimantan. It reimagines game mechanics within a live sensorial environment: projection mapping onto organic surfaces, spatial audio, farmer testimony, and field recordings.
🔺Speakers:
Alysha Nelson, @alyshanelson 🌱 Storyteller
Adi Gangga, 🌳Forester

So good to see so many of you at 🌼A Shrine To The Everyday🌼 at @southbankcentre as part of Creative Encounter last week.
Little did we know, as @alyshanelson & I anxiously waited for participants to arrive, how much creativity, heart, thoughts, items & memories will be generously shared throughout the night.
Conversations, personal stories were overheard, well-wishes read out, and harmonious humming of busy hands creating encapsulated within the space as we held each other for a brief moment in our uncertain world today💚
Here are some envelopes you’ve turned into personal shrines - as a record of togetherness, hope and creative exchange.
Thank you all for coming.
Love,
Vroomlab

Very excited to share that @alyshanelson and Vroomlab are co-hosting Southbank Centre Creative Encounter: A Shrine to the Everyday on 1st April. The motivations for the workshop comes from the increasingly divisive political landscapes we find ourselves in and the desire, as artists and creatives, to offer hope, celebration and togetherness in this world, however small.
The team at @southbankcentre has been incredible in helping us shape an idea into a functioning and feasible workshop in the Clare Ballroom on a Hayward Late @hayward.gallery centring around their current exhibition Chiharu Shiota x Yin Xiuzhen. Both of these artists moved us with their immersive and provoking work and sentiments towards lost homeland, migration and the transforming meaning of objects and we‘re deeply inspired by them.
Please come join us if you can! 🧚♂️

mak said don't whistle at night so i screamed instead is inspired by the Legend of Mahsuri — a woman cursed and immortalised in Malaysian folklore — this project interrogates AI and audience interaction to glitch colonial memory and rewrite history in real-time.
Audiences aren’t spectators — they’re players inside a living system. Through disrupting loops, breaking codes, and reprogramming the story, they confront the forces that have scripted BESEA identity.
This isn’t a retelling. It’s a decolonial hack — fusing ritual with technology to ask: Who scripts the myth? Who pulls the strings? And what happens when we refuse the roles we’ve inherited?
