Coming in 2026 -

Turanima’ translation- ‘Soul Journey’ – a portmanteau blending ‘Turā’ from the Gaelic word meaning ‘Journey’, and ‘Anima’ from the Latin word meaning ‘Soul’ or ‘Spirit’. ‘Turanima’, is a word coined by the Ghostbutter collective, and alludes to experiences of belonging, displacement, and transformation. It represents our conceptual and philosophical inquiry into the search for refuge, and the journeys that are undertaken in pursuit of sanctuary both physically and metaphysically.

Turanima will be a major visual arts and community engagement project produced and curated by the Ghostbutter collective coming to local Plymouth community hubs in 2026 with a culminating show of individual and co-authored artworks at Plymouth’s Café Momus gallery space. Through this project we aim to promote and elevate the voices of Plymouth’s marginalised communities, engaging local communities in art, art activities, and art spaces, while also promoting the creative work of –

  • The Ghostbutter Collective and its founders/future members

  • Our associate local creative practitioners from in and around the Plymouth area

  • The Café Momus gallery

  • Other associate community spaces, groups , and grassroots organisations

We wish to facilitate engagement and dialogue between local communities and gallery spaces, through hosting a series of creative workshops, inviting participants to express their journeys and emotions through art and paper crafts. Selected works created and donated by participants within the workshops will be integrated into an installation and short film to be exhibited alongside a collection of paintings, drawings and sculpture created by Ghostbutter Collective at a three-week long exhibition coinciding with Plymouth Art Weekender 2026.

Through Turanima we hope to nurture community engagement with Plymouth’s art, artists, and art spaces, whilst fostering dialogue and understanding around ideas of home, identity, belonging, displacement and migration, encouraging more compassionate discourse and humanising narratives around these subjects.
